Shadeflower ------ quick update! This morning, when I was just taking a look at some flower buds of a different orchid - a Rth. Free Spirit - I got taken by surprise by a flower scent. Then took a few seconds to think where that scent was coming from. And ------ to my surprise --- it looks like this particular Mem. Helen Brown does produce some nice scent ---- and not super weak after-all.
I checked by smelling the Mem. Helen Brown flowers right up close. And sure enough ------ that was it. Nice pleasant scent for sure. Definitely not strong ------ it was in the weak to mild range.
The Rth. Free Spirit buds are sort of next door ----- or quite nearby (as seen in the lower-left-hand-side of the pic). Thanks to these buds that I was able to even make this comment. Also thanks to you for asking about the scent as well!
Also uploading one pic of the now-yellow coloured Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown flowers. That's what happens when the flowers aren't kept in the shade. They get a nice yellow in the sun.
