Default Fragrant Orchid Species A-Z

I am not sure if I posted this site but Sydney H. Yearron seems to have made a list of most if not all possible fragrant orchid species ...
He did leave out schomburgkia thomasoniana, though ... ...


FRAGRANT ORCHIDS (SPECIES) A-B

Hmm....that web site is showing Aerangis luteo-alba var rhodosticta as being fragrant. I never noticed any fragrance when mine was in bloom and I sniffed several times. Anyone else notice any fragrance with theirs?

No fragrance on mine. BTW Becca how long did your flowers last, I'm hoping mine will make until Feb 16 for our show, I couldn't get to Madison Wi. this weekend because of weather. Jim.

The give me what I want and I’ll go away quote has become sort of an obnoxious attitude of mine lately…lol…

a lot of the time I come to the OB in the morning still half asleep.. trying to grab a few moments before work and I start making responses on the posts or writing a post asking questions and I don’t realize till later when I check back how some of my comments must sound...I hope I don’t give to much of a demanding impression like ANSWER MY QUESTION NOW..!!!…or sound like I’ve got air for a brain…..LOL
