WOW just discovered one of my chids has a incredible scent at night
B.C. star ruby xanadu which I have had a couple of years now has out did it self with blooming this year not a lot at once but constanlty for a few months and even going so far as to make a couple of lateral spikes off the main spike when the blooms faded ....another new discovery other than making lateral spikes was made last night when I decided to keep the lights on in the chids room and clean and treat with physan 20 and do some repotting ....as I worked I kept noticing a great scent as I walked by one particularly fragrant dendrobium and since I know it is scented did not pay much mind ..then suddenly it struk me that tis was not that scent but a different one and much stronger for the den you almost have to sniff a bloom usually to smell it .
HMMM what is that I wonder then I notise star ruby zanadu and remember that during the day it ocassionaly has a light scent ...so I get close and take a whiff ...wow what a nice scent and as the night went on it just kept getting stronger untill it filled the room with a great scent....
How cool is that ...I will have to either move it inside when in bloom or go out and work late more often
