paph malipoense fragrance question
Last Thursday I fell in love with the description and picture of a paph
malipoense online, and so I ordered one and should be receiving it sometime next week. One thing that baffles me though are the different descriptions of this species paph's fragrance. I have seen it described in different vendor's catalogues as smelling of pine needles, having a raspberry scent, or an almond fragrance. Now I know that different people have a different sense of smell, and that different orchids may smell differently (or not smell at all) under different conditions, and all that, ... but still, I would think that there is a great difference between the scent of raspberries, pine needles, and almonds, right? What is the most likely explanation for the variation in descriptions of this fragrance? Is it the difference in perception by different people or difference in varieties within the species or both or neither? Luckily, the scent would just be a nice bonus for me, and not the main reason why I want this plant. However, these different descriptions just baffle me, so I wonder about the reason. Joanna |
