Haraella odorata *MINI*
Here is my latest Haraella odorata double bloom. This one is in my 20 gallon orchidarium/vivarium. The scent is pretty strong as you can imagine.
Sue, if you are listening, I have found a weak, yet possible corrolation between wetting the roots daily, and scent. My other H. odorata does not have a scent anymore since I stopped directly misting it. This one did not have a scent when I was not misting it directly, but ever since I started, the blooms have been full of scent. Maybe that's it, myabe not.

I can hardly wait! Mine has two buds on same stalk! Since moving to terrarium, the haraella has gone wild.

Thanks for the tip, Tin 
Mine is not in bloom right now but still looking very happy. Everythng I've got here gets a direct misting so it's still a mystery  but I love it anyway. Maybe someday, it'll surprise me  |

What a great looking haraella. Mine's in bloom right now with a 2nd a few days away from showing itself. I mist mine twice a day, with dunk watering every week and the fragrance is so nice. I would love to have mine in double bloom like your's Tin...good job

 I really wished mine would have a scent (even a bad one). I have 5 plants and only 2 have bloomed right now (3 are real new) but neither has any scent at all - that I can determine.

Perhaps the fact that mine is in a tank the smell is concentrated so I detect it. However, the scent is very strong, close to pungent, but lemony.
