Miltassia Charles M Fitch 'Izumi'
This guy just started losing its flowers. They were open for around 3 1/2 weeks.

Hope you all enjoy! Hopefully everything is labeled and formatted correctly.

I just purchased Charles M. Fitch "Izumi", does yours have any scent. Mine was very subtle, but pleasantly scented.

How many spikes on that Sharry Baby and Sweet Scent. It looks like you had a couple hundred flowers on the one, and roughly how long did they last.

Sorry for all the questions, before even saying how very nice the flowers were.:lol:

My Mtssa. CM Fitch did have a light orchidy fragrance. It didn't really resemble any other scent I've smelled besides other orchids.

The Sweet Scent had 8 spikes! When I got it it had two back in June. One open, one half. Those kept getting longer and developed more buds while a ton of other spikes formed. They lasted around 5 weeks I think.

My Sharry Baby is blooming right now, two spikes, one is pretty much fully open, I counted 80 flowers on this spike. The other one hasn't even set buds yet, I'm greedy and hoping for at least that many on it too.

If you like Sharry and fragrant ones like it, try to find Burr. Jimbo 'Swarm' it's similar in color, but edged in bright yellow. I added picture of it too.

Wow, thats gorgeous! I'll keep it in mind. I am moving down south to a zone 10 area and will be able to have my orchids outside and will have more room as a result. =)

I really want to add more fragrant orchids to my collection as well as Paphiopedilums.

Glad everyone liked the pictures. I have better but they are not uploaded anywhere.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing those pics! Love the amaryllis in the background that was trying to be a picture hog as well!
