Habenaria Spoonbill 'Ham Actor'

[tnyr5]

A division from Sarah Hurdel, named with her blessing. This orchid smells LIKE BACON! Seriously, I am not making that up. Well, specifically, it smells like hickory smoke and brown sugar, which is a common flavor for American style bacon.
Again, this is not a joke. IT IS A BACON-SCENTED ORCHID!!!!!!
(My life is complete now.)

I've never seen this particular color and it's charming.

My plants of this cross at home don't smell like anything... Now I have to get more

Out of curiosity, did the grower mention where they got the plant? If it was from Sarah or Leon or Marni, it's probably a sibling of my plant.

I suspect they are all out of the same seed pod. Edgar (Windswept) bought a bunch, maybe in flask? I got mine from him.
