Default Stan. saccata --cinnamon or mothballs?

Don't know about the Stanhopea, but I'm glad your family is okay. Many have
had less luck.

My --Stanhopea saccata-- is blooming nicely. The tag says the flowers
smell like cinnamon.

They reek of mothballs to my nose.

BTW, my mother and sister in Apopka, FL are OK. They got over 15
inches of rain, but they are on elevated ground, so they had no
flooding.
