This Orchid Stinks
Joanna,
I've had this plant less than a year having purchased it when it went out of bloom for $10 at a local nursury. After potting it up to a 6 inch pot it threw out four growths of which three bloomed and made a nice display. I give it lots of light and no other special treatment. It only smells when it's dark. I took it to the local society meeting Monday and when I took the plastic bag off it stunk. After two hours in the light the fragrance was very dull. When I got it home in the dark car and opened the bag it gave off the same odor. Maybe I need my nose tuned up? Good growing, Gene "J Fortuna" wrote in message ... Gene, Have you had problems getting this plant to bloom in the past? Have you as a result been moving it closer to the garbage? Maybe once it actually bloomed you forgot to move it further away from the garbage? ;-) Joanna "Gene Schurg" wrote in message link.net... 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 |
