Thank you for the kind words. Yes, you are correct - it has a wonderful and haunting scent. Regarding this cultivar, I copied the following text from a website (originally in Japanese?) so the translation may not be seemless: "won the highest prize of fragrance and shiseido prize at the Western orchid exhibition sponsored by JOGA. "

Shill is heavily dowiana, mossiae and warscewiczii while Off is a real Heinz 57 but the biggest chunk is roughly 20% trianae. If you go through all that gene dilution your plant ends up being maybe 5% trianae. Amazing how strongly it came through. Beautiful plant you have there.
Edit- I actually just did some better research:
Your plant is....
31% dowiana
17% warscewiczii
17% mossiae
13% trianae
8% warneri
6% labiata
5% tenebrosa
3% other
Much more trianae than my first guesstimate.

I'm speechless with all that information you just provided! HOW did you find all that? I thought my next questions for this community would be how do I now research my cultivar with AOS or other societies to learn about the the history, any awards etc and then learn about the contributing species to the parentage and culltivar.
You have provided me with such useful information on the parentage (and contributing species) to research now. Many Thanks!!!
And yes, I recall the Trianae discussion awhile back. I always thought this had Labiata as well.
