Hello!

Here`s my 2 new plants I got last night at my local orchid society!

Phal. Everspring Light X Phal. Taipei Gold

Paph. Delenatii X Paph. Micranthium = Paph. Magic lantern

Both fragrant!

Have a good day!

The Paph is fragrant? Interesting.

I have one and there is no aroma at all.

You must have got lucky.

Good choice. Obviously you bought them in bloom, or you wouldn't know
they are fragrant. Paph. delenatii can contribute fragrance to its
hybrids, but it usually isn't pronounced. Perhaps some of the newer
delenatii that were just imported from Vietnam have more fragrance than
the old ones. And, I think some people can smell it and some people
can't. It is probably genetic (on the human side). Regardless, Magic
Lantern is a great hybrid. Far easier to grow than either parent, too.

Have fun!

Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren
1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a. See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase
more orchids, obtain more credit

I have two Magic Lanterns, one with 3 growths, one with 2. The one with 2
was a trade that I made over a year and a half ago. It was in bloom and it
had a very light fragrance. The second Magic Lantern was in bloom when I
purchased it, and it had no fragrance at all. Go figure...
