Howdy! I'm thinking that's more common than I thought. I had asked about a dendrobium that should be fragrant, although it wasn't listed as such. The grower told me it's a toss up. So while I'm hopeful some of the paphs I ordered will be fragrant, I'm not holding my breath. At least I will like the form of the paph flower and foliage if it's not. I seem to be drawn toward the chunky round flowered paphs. Not sure if those have a name, I've seen something about a bulldog type, but I haven't read anything definitive yet. Thanks for your reply!
Paph. hangianum is another fragrant specie...Kind of hard to find. Check out Paph Paradise and Hillsview for some Complex Bulldog Paphs.
Thanks for the recommendation! I will check them out
Do you think phrags take the same or more amount of watering than paphs? I was under the impression they needed more watering, so I was going to see how I did with the paphs first. I'm not the most attentive waterer, but I'm trying to do better.
Hello, and thank you for the welcome!
I've thought about that, but heard varying opinions on it. I've also tried some hoya in leca before, and it didn't go well. The top 3/4 of the leca stayed dry, so those roots were dying at the top. It was probably some error on my part, but I don't want to lose any orchids by experimenting with it again.
More, especially kovachii hybrids
All my kovachii hybrids set in trays of rainwater, which I flush and change weekly
