Schoenorchis scolopendria question - Orchid Board

SFLguy · #1 03-15-2016, 12:38 AM

When I bought Schoenorchis scolopendria at the Tamiami show back in January, I asked the seller (Popow Orchids) multiple times if it was fragrant, I made sure that I was also pointing out that the species I was holding was not fragrans. I was told the scolopendria (along with fragrans) was fragrant. After looking it up more tonight, I'm not finding anything to support that. Has anyone experienced fragrance in Schoenorchis scolopendria?

I am growing the plant, but it has not flowered yet, so I cannot comment on fragrance.

But I love the growth habit, it is a nice plant vegetatively!!!

My plant looks like it might be initiating 2 buds, so if I get flowers, I will let you know!!!

I agree, I love the way it grows, I have four flowers coming up soon, I just wanted to see if anyone else had experience with them
