Brassocattleya Maikai unscented???
I recently bought my first cattleya at WalMart and I have been trying to identify the plant. I am now sure it is Bc. Maikai after stumbling across many photos while doing my research. I am curious as to why the flowers are not scented, however. I know this plant needs alot of light (which I am not sure that I can provide through the winter!!!) and it is probably stressed from being taken to my home, but I would still figure it should have some kind of scent. Does it only smell at night like its B. nodosa parent? I am really worried that it won't get enough light to flourish this winter, but I'd really like it to develop into a nice specimen. Is this hybrid tolerant of lower lighting conditions? Any specific cultural information would be GREATLY appreciated from anybody, especially if you have grown this plant!!! Its beautiful and I LOVE it... I just want to make it happy! THANKS!!!
