Dorothy.
2 & 3 are fragrant. 3 is violacea X venosa.
1 & 4 I have to check. 4 is Cassandra X violacea, and just opened last night.

I read that pulchra can be fragrant ..
Give the Kilby a day or so .. they seem to scent with age ..

Those are beautiful! I love #1 & #2 especially. Wonderful growing.
This "supposedly fragrant" issue is so puzzling! In some other threads, I'd mentioned my Phal. Mini-Mark 'Holm' is fragrant, and everyone else who has a Mini-Mark has said theirs isn't. Ross, maybe we can find an orchid for you that has a cheesy sardine scent?
