Nodosa with no fragrance help

[Louis_W]

Hey all,

I know we have discussed factors that control fragrance on here before, but I just thought I'd ask.about this one.

I just bloomed B. nodosa for the first time and I was looking forward to the smell more than anything. It has had three flowers open for a weak now and four more on the way, and it is a very healthy robust plant.

But the smell is very faint... I can detect it but only when I stick my nose in it. I've had the same problem with C. loddigesii as well, but C. tigrinas and the like have a powerful fragrance when they bloom for me.

Any ideas? Is it a cultural quirk I can fix? Both the nodosa and the loddigesii are popular named clones so it shouldnt be a genetic issue. I am aware that it should only be at night. I've tried after dark hours. Ive tried after all the lights are out and it's totally dark. Not getting much.
