Sharry Baby!

[puddin]

It bloomed a couple of days ago! I love it! The scent isn't what I thought it would be. It smells like chocolate, but with a heavy flowery perfume. It's almost like you are smelling something chocolate with a woman wearing a ton of perfume standing beside you. Different. Still love it though!

I love the fragrance, too!! Lovely flower, good growing!

Thats a really dark variety. I like it! Mine is that brick red mixed with white. They all smell good though!

I dream of that, a woman standing next to me smelling like chocolate. Jim.

a couple of 'dancing ladies,' and a Brassia. I need to buy a digital camera before I can start sending pictures.

That is too cool. I have the brick red and white variety, which smells strongly of pure cocoa, which is in spike now. Perhaps its Sharry Baby season?

for many of the oncidiums. I usually have quite a few that bloom at this time of year. You should see what my greenhouse smells like with 2 Sharry Babys and 2 Dancing Ladies and a couple of other oncidiums that are also blooming.

Puddin, that's a beauty!
From what I've read, they each seem to have a different "blend" of fragrance. The one I have in bloom right now smells exactly like there's a chocolate cake fresh out of the oven! Yummy

Gorgeous! That plant is on my wish list.

Exactly why I like Palmer's cocoa butter. No man can resist a woman that smells like chocolate.
