One of the well known classic Cattleya is in flower now at my place.

Nice Venezuelan... ;)

what is the fragrance like in your plant?

Thank you, Ramón! :)
I would not say that its fragrance is unpleasant.... at least for my nose :blushing: Grass, slight notes of spices, something else which I can not define, but this tone quite recognizable ... All together is quite nice, but different in some way from others Cattlyeas.

C. percivaliana fragrance can be pretty different fromplant to plant... I know plants that smell like champignons, other like stink-bugs and others more like dirty socks... however, I do not know any with such a strong fragrance that I would say it is unpleasant...

Gena, It is lovely!

Well done, Gena! One of my favorites.

I have a clone of the famous 'Summit' and I think it smells very strongly of stink bugs. Gross!!

Gena,
Your plant looks nice and you are lucky that it does not smell like stink bugs! lol

Gena, your flowers are so pretty they have no need to smell great!
