What is your favorite orchid for fragrance

[chickazilla]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me some advice. I've had a Miltoniopsis in bloom for about 5-6 weeks producing heavenly fragrance every day. But suddenly, after watering two days ago, it stopped producing it's scent, although the blooms absolutely show no signs of fading and look very vital still. Are the flowers just on their way out? Could it be root issues? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My Miltonia's are wonderful, but the fruity fragrance of my Phal Bellina is without a doubt my favorite. Also still waiting for my Zygopetalum to bloom and my Twinkle Oncidium.

I mentioned Rhyncholaelia digbyana way back in this thread as my favorite orchid fragrance (and indeed tied with gardenia for favorite fragrance in the plant kingdom), and that's still true.

But I was very impressed when our first Chroniochilus virescens flower opened a few weeks ago. Small plant, small (1-2 cm) flower, but one flower perfumed the entire greenhouse, not cloying or overpowering at all but really wonderful.

For those with lower light and/or small growing spaces, I give this 2 green thumbs up.
