take my advice, don't try to "help" the dorsals on brachys. every time i try i end up splitting the dorsal at the tip. pic from prior my destructive fiddling.

Give it a whiff. Let me know what you think. These smell like barf and apple peels to me. Or maybe rancid cheese. But I love the flowers otherwise, and of course the foliage is gorgeous.

Interesting! I always forget to give new blooms a sniff. I smell a very subtle whiff of wet leather shoes.

I have no idea what wet leather shoes smell like...but I remember that I used to be able to afford a pair of $500 shoes, now I can only afford a pair of cheap slippers...
Serious tho, it is nice but I didn't know it was fragrant...good to know.
