Phrag. Eumelia Arias

[SlipperKing]

Very nice.

 

[NYEric]

OK. How much?!

 

[Hamlet]

Very nice, looks like a mega schlimii!

 

[silence882]

How much is 5 years of patience and heartache worth?

O.K. I've been rolling and begging with no results. What
next to get such a lovely bloom???

Try a sacrifice to the flower gods? Perhaps of Eric?

 

[silence882]

Here is #2 with my schlimii (not the actual parent).

Wonderful contrast between the two blooms. EA is so BIG
by comparison. Eric would never volunteer...damn!

*Eric, you have an EA if you haven't lost it in that jungle of
yours. If you have lost it, I'm sending the men in black shirts,
white ties and violin cases after you. They're from New Jersey.

 

[trdyl]

That is quite a size difference. Has schlimii's fragrance come through with Eumelia Arias?

 

[NYEric]

Angela, a Pk hybrid in bloom is worth a bird in the hand.

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice!

No, orchid fragrance is a myth.

I didn't say anything about having him volunteer.

Hum... I guess that I have a very good/bad imagination at times then.

 

[NYEric]

Lots of Phrags have fragrance.

People want their orchids to have a fragrance, so they have a fragrance. It's not actually there.

So, Maxillaria tenuifolia, Bulbophyllum cocoinum and Phrag. schlimii have no scent? I'm interested in what fragrances you actually can detect.

My schlimii doesn't have a fragrance and I haven't been around the other 2. I've got almost exclusively slippers and don't really go to orchid shows.

Therefore, I'm forced to conclude that everyone else is hallucinating.

 

[NYEric]

No, you just might not be sensitive, schlimii and Hanne Popow smell like a cross between roses and raspberries. Very nice.

I've got a Manzur la Aldea spiking. Maybe that one will be fragrant.

Further on scent, it is highly dependant on the observer some noses are not able to pick up certain scents unless it is a strong odor. I was trying to point out scented blooms to a fellow enthusiast he couldn't pick up subtle scents on most orchids.

Very true. Some are very subtle while others will just about knock you over when you walk in to the room.

 

[SlipperFan]

I've also noticed that some flowers pulsate their fragrance. Others depend on sunlight, or no light. Interesting group, orchids.
