I know I have been disappointed with orchids I have bought
when they should be fragrant (fragrant species or seedling with fragrant parents/ancestors) and were not. Orchids are judged on appearance and not fragrance, unfortunately.
The same is happening to roses, too. Petal count, color and size are more important in judging than scent and it can be difficult to find the older, fragrant varieties.
