Default Catasetum Bound for Glory
Well, I don't think this one's bound for glory. Colour isn't stunning, form is ok, could be more floriferous. But it smells fantastic!

The primary odor is of bubble-gum, but a close second in strength is caraway. More subtle is the spearmint scent, and quite subtle beneath the others is a fake-banana-flavour scent.

I tried to take pics to give a sense of the overall shape of the bloom.

Catasetum Bound for Glory = (pileatum x Orchidglade)
Orchidglade = (pileatum x expansum)

WOW!
Nice looking flower. You must have a super nose to catch all those scents. I'm afraid my nose isn't a very good one.
