Gene -
I've had one with about 50 blooms at one time, and although the
fragrance was stronger some nights than I'd have liked, it never smelled
awful.

Subject: This Orchid Stinks

I have a beautiful B. Little Stars (nodosa x cordata) that has about 20
flowers on it. At night it smells like pungent rotting garbage.

Somehow I expected it to smell nice. Anyone else have this cross? Is mine
unique or is this how it's supposed to smell.

BTW....it's quite beautiful but just stinks.


Good Growing,
Gene
