Odontoglossum harryanum Rchb.f.

One of the few Odontoglossums I can grow here. Strong, wonderful fragrance, so strong that it is almost irritating!

Here are the blooms:

A nice one, Mauro. Is temperature the reason that you don't usually grow odonts? They seem to do OK here so I'll keep that name in mind.

Yes, Shirley, it's too hoot in the summer for most of the Odonto species. I have been growin Odonto harryanum, grande and pulchellum along with my Draculas and they are doing good. I also have been growing a beautiful Odonto Violeta Von Holm, but in this case I have only seen its flowers one time and never again. The plant simply refuses to develop. I guess temperatures are not suitable for it. I'd try others, but Odontos are not easy to find here.
