These orchids are tough survivors and travelled bare-root stuffed in suitcases from the West to East Coast less then a year ago. What a joy to see them recover and bloom in January.
Brassavola 'Kiliani Stars'( Little stars x perinni) in the front , has a fresh, rosy floral scent that diffuses far at night. My favorite, since it lacks some of the irritating fragrance undertones of some Brassovola I had grown. It is also the toughest for me, grows and blooms well in SH and even blooms in water culture.
Cochleanthes Amazing in the back has strong, sweet, spicy, rosy, aromatic floral fragrance. Succesive flowers for 3 months now.
Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Short Sharry' aromatic sweet fragrance , able to waft across several rooms. This small division has recovered fast since it has grown in water culture for 10 years. 5years ago it had multiple spikes.

Vandofinetia White Crane.is on the left growing fast in SH. I detect some pleasant sweet fragrance notes earlier in the day, but often find the fragrance irritating. Reminds me of Ivory Soap and/or paint remover most of the day. It isn't white either, but "washed out magenta" (nature's favorite color according to an old hybridizer}
4 fragrant and easy.
