Iwanagara Apple Blossom blooming but no fragrance
 

Hi all well it finally bloomed last night and they are beautiful but I am so dissapointed that there is no fragrance...:(

There are still 3 or 4 other buds on the plant that are still in the process of blooming. :D The blooms are much smaller then I anticipated.

Check it out!

Lovely Sheridan! Good growing!
I don't grow this plant, but I know my fragrant orchids it usually takes a few days before the fragrance 'kicks in' - maybe this just needs a little time ?

Thanks White Rabbit I sure hope so. :blushing:

hi sheridan! you got lovely blooms and maybe the fragrance needs heat to mature....or time....i have never grown that one but i want to one day...its so beautiful! good growing!

Wow I never thought of that (heat) hmmm! I will be moving the chids into the GH early next week.
Thanks Sheridan

I agree...give it a few days and you'll find yourself smiling but not knowing why...and then you realize you just walked past the Iwanagaara! :cloud9:

HeHeHe! I checked again this morning and still nothing maybe my nose isn' working...... ;)

Sheridan

Nice! I thought this one was scentless though? :scratchhead:

You may be right Isurus 79!

When I got one of these, it took a little while but I was happy when I could spell and say "Iwanagara". Then, the name changed to Leonora and now it is Jackfowliera as best I can tell. I guess I can start remembering that now for a while.
