Thanks. I'll have to remember to pass that one up should it ever cross my path. lol... Speaking of a bad orchid scent; I have a Blc. Alma Kee 'Tipmalee" that had a burning wood smell a few days after it first opened and became stronger, thereafter. Kind of enjoyed it, though, since I fancy working with wood.. :) Your videos are wonderful and I'm so looking forward to when you relocate to Cyprus, and arrange all your plants in the completed greenhouse/shadehouse... :)
+John Benedict ORCHIDS thanks John, hehe well I would prefer burning wood over this, it would remind me of childhood :) this reminds of villages lol yes I have so many plans for the greenhouse, it will still be a sort of indoor design ideas since it won't be all policarbonate so, it will need to be treated as a room :)
Prostechea cochleata (on of this hybrid's parents) grows naturally in my area, I have a few of them - but none of the ones I've got has any scent. It's nice to see this species grown somewhere else! I'm sure it will grow beautifully in your care :D
+MissOrchidGirl Definitely. Just like you said, Prostechea's petals are longer and more curled :) Your info is very accurate! I think I learned more about this orchids!
Hi Danni, I don't think I would like my house to smell like a stable, But I do like those flowers, And the shape and colour of the lip, very pretty. :-)
That is so funny about the fragrance, Danny!! I kind of like the smell of a barn from my childhood, but depending on the poop level it could be bad. XD The Encyclia fragrans might be nicer. I just got the Miltassia Shelob Tolkien today, and if it smells too peppery, it is going to be gone at the next orchid society meeting haha!! Boy I was bad at the store today. I fell to my knees and grabbed an armful of orchids and said "I don't have the strength not to buy these" lol!!
+Astrid I have the spectabile but he is a young one :) rene marquez is on my list for 2 years now lol I will make this huge hauls when my gh is ready, it will look so empty and first lol
Hi Danny, beautiful orchid..disappointed to know about the fragrance.. BTW can you make a video describing how long does a psudobulb takes to mature in various orchids..
+Hemanandini Deori hi, well the rhythm at which psb mature on different orchids really depends on the species and season. If you click the info card on this video you'll see the ID section on my site, all orchids there have the specified time in which a psb can mature :)
my flower spike stopped growing in May and in July three new bulbs started to grow. summer is almost over I just started giving my little cutie some fertilizer with 19-8-16 in hopes to help it finish the bulbs. I generally don't give fertilizer because I forget. one the bulbs are mature should I switch to bloom booster? Thank you! love your channel and your reply's!
+Guillermo Bustamante yes it might help, or if you have a balanced fertilizer you can use that to sustain the new growths and a possible flower spike. It would have been nice if you did fertilize though, these guys do grow very fast and consume nutrients.
+Guillermo Bustamante ooops forget the grow fast part lol I dunno why but I thought this was the catasetum video :) yes ok, bloom booster or balanced for this one now, the sheath can take a few months to start blooming ;)
Interesting video as always. Very pretty flower & the smell won't bother me. I live in an agricultural state, so if the wind blows from one direction it smells like cows. Horse manure might be a nice change...lol
I just purchased this! Okay, I ordered the Prosthechea cochleata, and it came with a label "Epidendrum lancifolium" plus is looks totally different than your plants lol, maybe i got a special orchid :D (By the way I made a video on it, I'll put a link here as soon as it will be online, and if you have the mood, you can watch it and tell me what you think :D) Oh and horse stable, really?? :D
+Zane Leroux Epi. lancifolium has been reclassified as Prostechea trulla and is one of the parents of the Green Hornet :) that is why I say that sometimes you can get very mixed labels cos flower wise they are very similar. However the trulla looks quite different from cochleata in my eyes. Search pics ;)

+John Benedict ORCHIDS That sounds like a scent I would like to have!

+annaiskicking That's a relief... I was beginning to think I was the only one.. :)

+William T. Pinkney thanks William, do you see any visible difference in flower shape from mine?
+MissOrchidGirl Definitely. Just like you said, Prostechea's petals are longer and more curled :) Your info is very accurate! I think I learned more about this orchids!
+William T. Pinkney ok thanks for confirmation! :D
Hi Danni, I don't think I would like my house to smell like a stable, But I do like those flowers, And the shape and colour of the lip, very pretty. :-)
+Rosemary457 think the cochleata doesn't have a fragrance ;)
Love it Danny!!
+Garrett Spring hey Garrett :D how've you been?
I have this and it smells strongly. but it blooms continously so it's a keeper
+vellita tardiel does the smell seem nice to you? just wondering about the variation :)
Oh dear lord sorry my phone us having issues. I just saw the comment. Honestly NO!! is smells weired, sort of a stale overnight scent😊.
+vellita tardiel haha ok thank you for the confirmation :P

+Astrid lol waiting for the video on them ;) the shelob smells quite nice actually
I hope mine smells as nice as you say!! :) I should make a video today so you can watch it on your tomorrow morning!!
+Astrid yes plsssssss :D I need ideas for what orchids to get in my greenhouse :D
MissOrchidGirl Please get a dendrobium spectabile and grow it 1.5m tall
Please!!! And an Epidendrum Rene Marques! Those get huge as well!!
+Astrid I have the spectabile but he is a young one :) rene marquez is on my list for 2 years now lol I will make this huge hauls when my gh is ready, it will look so empty and first lol
Omg! I spit my coffee all over my phone Danny LMBO! I just got this baby. Lordy lordy..
How funny about the scent! I think I will stick with my cochleata!
+Gardening at Douentza hahaha does your cochleata have a scent?
+MissOrchidGirl No, no scent on mine.
+Gardening at Douentza lol better, the scent on this one gets to me sometimes hahaha

Very good explicacion ,i have that orchid too. I just get 1 month ago hope it can to survive. Here its too hot.thank you very much
+MARIA DEL CARMEN ARCOS VAZQUEZ well if you keep it properly hydrated and ventilated it will help her cope with the hot temperatures better :)
Thanks for sharing Dani. I have a question how do you keep the bulbs of this orchid so plump? They look so very healthy.
my flower spike stopped growing in May and in July three new bulbs started to grow. summer is almost over I just started giving my little cutie some fertilizer with 19-8-16 in hopes to help it finish the bulbs.

MissOrchidGirl just a couple of days ago. Unfortunately i do not have a balanced fertilizer its just a sheath so far.
+Guillermo Bustamante ooops forget the grow fast part lol I dunno why but I thought this was the catasetum video :) yes ok, bloom booster or balanced for this one now, the sheath can take a few months to start blooming ;)
I just brought a green hornet and mine smells exactly like honey
Is it normal for it to have those yellow blotches in the leaves?
+theonlyrin no, that is spider mite damage on my orchid ;)
What country they come from?
Interesting video as always. Very pretty flower & the smell won't bother me. I live in an agricultural state, so if the wind blows from one direction it smells like cows. Horse manure might be a nice change...lol
+Nancy Huffman ahahaha I think you won't detect it as much, it's not quite as repulsive as horse manure, but it does take you there :P

I'm just really curious what my plant is really, looking forward to the blooms :D
Horse poop..haha...I guess it is better than rotten meats! Thanks for sharing!
+draco003 yes it certainly is :)
