Great job! They smell so good don't they? Mine has been in bloom for some weeks now and it's the biggest best of all the spikes it had after I got it (and it suffered at my hands).

Happy days indeed.

Thank you. I haven't noticed it's scent yet. I keep walking over and sniffing, and its not noticeable. But they just started opening today, so maybe it's still early.

More pictures as it continues to open up all of the flowers. I still haven't noticed a scent.







Bonus pic of some of my other orchids. :P

I'm sure the scent will present itself when they're open, and check especially in the morning, early afternoon. It's very sweet. Looking good so far.

Were you able to sense any fragrance last time it bloomed?
With the way your plant looks, it should be crazy fragrant by now. They are actually fragrant the first day the flowers open.

I heard some people cannot sense certain scent, so it might just be your nose?

Anyways, great job on the rebloom! Enjoy with or without the fragrance. They are still lovely to look at I think.

I smelled them today and they are so fragrant! It's an absolutely beautiful smell.

Yeah! Lovely aren't they? I like to stick my face in them every chance I get even though I can smell them from a little bit of a distance. They're so sweet. Good job!!!
