Orchids with a strong scent
Thumbs up
I read Cattleya Iricolor is suppose to be the stongest fragrant orchid known. It only blooms for 2 weeks, so it is more fragrant to attract a pollinator quicker. I have never seen one myself.

Me too! started to open a few days ago and I have been waiting for the fragrance. Yesterday I could smell it when I was near the plant - today I can smell it from the next room! lol

Hope you enjoy your new zygo as much as I am mine!

Well they bloom from very new growth - so perhaps the wait will not be as long as you might think

don't know if you can tell in the pic but spike is from that small new growth

I have a Bulbo trigonosepalum (doggy doo)! Its smells horrible But I love it. Sniff Sniff yep it deffiantly smells like dog dung. I believe it has something to do with being pollinated by a fly.
