I thought I would share a couple of my current bloomers, Cattleya jenmanii coerulea and Rhynchostylis gigantea alba. Boy, they do smell good!

They are small flowers only a 4 to 4.75 inch natural spread. But, they do pack a wallop for fragrance. The fragrance reminds me of Cattleya mossiae but about 5 times stronger.

Joann, Melissa, Tucker and Carol thanks for the comments.
