Please let me know if you find one that smells like bacon...yum...yum. Yet don't know how a bacon
smell will match an orchid. Hopefully it will be a brown
and red orchid. Tell the hybridizers that this should be
their next cross. HA!

Happy Growing!

For me the most fragrant are Angraecum didieri, Encyclia tampensis, Tolumnia Sniffen, Tolumnia Jairak Rainbow, Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter, and Dendrobium anosmum. I haven't detected any frangrance fron some of the go-tos like Haeralla, Aerangis, etc. Notta for me.

Ross,

I absolutely love all Encyclias. Love the springtime and early summer when they are blooming. Are you familiar with Enc. radiatas? They are little green upside down shells, compact plant yet grows like a weed.

Nope. Have not had the pleasure of its aquaintance . I only have a couple Encyclias, but they are sweet smellers, to be sure!

I have to agree, encyclias are sweetly scented. I've got Ency. leucantha, fragrans, cochleata, and Ency. Nursery Rhyme 'Chocolate Fiore' x cordigera 'Sweet Earth' and they are all sweetly scented.

The fragrans has been put into the genus Prosthechea though, but I smell it every day throughout my orchid shed. It's something like citrus and vanilla but more vanilla....it's sooo delicious!!!

If you guys do not have the species, Enc. radiata.
Go under google and then click on images...then type in Enc. radiata...you will see the pictures of the flowers. They are the next ones to bloom. Theya re a smaller plant and flowers as they are a species.

Happy Growing!
