Hi everyone :)

Just picked up these very fragrant orchids today for $16

These were the only ones with very swiveled up pseudobulbs, but the workers agreed and said that they just needed a good watering (they were a new shippment) and I trust this place, as it is a pretty good tropical plant nursery.

Otherwise they looks decent, the leafs have some bad spots (chunks missing or a few black spots on the ones tip) but some TLC should clear everything up :)

These things are fragrant enough to make half the kitchen and front room smell like flowers, which wouldn't be bad if I wasn't allergic to pollen :rofl:

They also had some other orchids that looked exactly like these, just not fragrant and the flowers were swirling, speckled, and completely beautiful.

Nice!

Don't be tempted to over-water trying to get the pbulbs to plump up. I don't expect they will, or only slightly. But, they have been supporting the plant while it's been either too dry, or roots rotted from over-watering - that's their job. With proper watering, new growth should be fine.
