First time blooming for this orchid - the blooms have just opened so I have not detected any scent yet.

Pretty cool looking flowers. Shame about the scent, but it may take some time before that kicks in.

My Zygo is fragrant from late in the morning until mid afternoon. After that, there's only a hint. But once the fragrance kicks in, it's pretty powerful.

I was sitting beside it at breakfast this morning - the scent which was like hyacinth was very strong

You clearly have the Zygo gift. Great job!

I think they are well suited to indoor growing in this part of the world - I have my eye on a few new hybrids - just waiting for some warmer weather for shipping.
