Thank you for sharing your beautiful orchids. I only recently discovere your channel. I dont know whether highly hybridised and phalaenopsis are your cup of tea, however I received a Phalaenopsis Anthura Bolgheri as a Gift, that was purchased in Kew Gardens. The flowers are coppery and when warm the flat isperfumed by this much prized orchid.
Phalaenopsis are a really great choice for growing indoors. Mine would be so much happier in a warmer environment over the winter. That looks like a lovely hybrid. Another scented phalaenopsis hybrid to look out for is 'Sweet Memory' Liodoro. If you do well with yours I highly recommend progressing on to some of the wonderfully scented species such as Phal. violacea
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Scented orchids are amazing! I've got two Lycaste Aromatica. Definitely, I'm going to search for Coelogyne Nitida. I liked it!
Hi Howard. The cattleya you have looks like Lc. Canhamiana to me. However, there are several famous individuals of Lc. Canhamiana, and I can not identify which individual is yours. I have had my Lc. Canhamiana ´Cobalt’ for years, and it’s petals have deep lavender veins. Quite a giant it is. Ps. I just came across your channel on RUclips. I enjoy how you tell the stories about your orchids a lot!
Hi Huang. Thank you so much for your identification. It's really useful to have a name to go on and it's a great hybrid with a lovely scent. Also, thank you for your very kind comments about my videos. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Also please check Lc. Eximia. These two are quite alike in the pictures. I have never seen actual Lc. Eximia plants so I don’t know how tell them apart.
In Africa, and South Africa where I live, we have an Ansellia Africana which has a striped flower coloured like your Odontoglossum, except that the tongue is yellow, not mauve. Grows very prolifically outside, and flowers profusely, but has no scent. Flowers arise on the flowering stem out of the growing apex, as well as branching out from the sides of the same new stem at nodes.
Wow, the "thorns" are a really cool feature on the Lycaste aromatica. If I had to guess they are a defese mechanism, so the pseudobulbs won't get eaten?
Great video thanks Howard. Like the idea of the slatted basket for the vanda, will give it a try.
Thanks,Bill.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your wonderful orchids 😊🙏💖
Wonderful videos! Thank you for sharing 🌿

@@Pascali_Huang I will. I'll also ask the person who gave it to me to see if either name sound familiar to her. Thanks again
