This question may not be in the right section, but I'm asking anyway! What are some orchids that have a scent of chocolate? Onc. Sharry Baby? Others?

Well, one might be Oncidium ornithorhynchum, it's my understanding that this species is responsible for the chocolate scent of Sharry Baby. Don't hold me to that though, since I've never seen one in person...

I like the looks of that encyclia phoenica! Red set Off by hot pink, great combination. This is going on my list of look fors. The onc. ornithorhynchum, I haven't found a photo of yet. Does anyone have one?

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
