I am not sure, as I do not know this cross at all... however, since Clowesia warczewitzii (50%) and Catasetum pileatum (12.5%) are fragrant, I would also expect this plant to be... (I am not sure whether Catasetum expansum (37.5%) is fragrant, but I would suspect that it is...

Nice haul. I hope your conditions are warm [Damn HOT!!]enough for those rupicolous laeliae!

well, the only thing I cannot offer is cool/cold conditions all the year ;) but on the other hand, rupiculous laelias like some lower temps too... nights at the original habitats can be quite cold ;)
