Question Fragrant oncidiums

I am a newbie grower who has a few dendrobiums, phals and vandas. I want to add an oncidium or two to my collection. I would like to know if all oncidiums are fragrant other than popular ones like Sharry Baby. Thanks in advance... !

Onc. Twinkle. hands down. Hardy, durable, great for the beginner, and a wonderful grower. Plus, it's a miniature!

To me, it smells like spicy vanilla. It's what is pictured in my avatar.

Thanks Izzie - that was useful, I do not have much space for my plants so a miniature is a bonus for me !

Brassia Rex Waiomao Spotless has a wonderful vanilla scent-- much like what Izzie reports about her cultivar.

Sure! They're pretty common too, I doubt you'll have trouble finding one. There's a white form and a red form.

Miltoniopsis is an Oncidium relative. They're medium sized plants. Many hybrids and some species are fragrant.
