This should be right up your alley Kortney! I told you I have some good things in store for you! My Neostylis "Lou Sneary" has finally bloomed! I think I've had it for three or four years now and this is the first time it's bloomed. Yes, I'm a terrible grower! Hopefully it will bloom every year now. Also, there isn't a fragrance yet either? I wonder why? I would expect this orchid to be a highly fragrant as both parents in this intergeneric hybrid are fragrant. Neofinetia falcata is famous for being highly fragrant. I'll go out on a limb and say that Rhynchostylis coelestis is too! I have two other Rhynchostylis species R. gigantea & R. retusa and they both smell heavenly! I will post more photos and an update when it blooms out. Enjoy!

Wow! That is Just gorgous (sp?)! Good Growing Eric! This one is on my wish list, lol! as far as the scent, I think because this is such a widely hybridized and grown from seed plant the scent may vary depending on the parents or the pod parent if grown from seed. I think most are scented though. Some are stronger in the morning and some are in the evening in the same families.
Update: The scent is here, the scent is here, Hahahah. It smells wonderful, sweet and lightly floral!
The pay off was worth the wait.
