    Default Dendrobium amboinensis

    Ah yes, it's been moved. It's often too hard to keep on top of name changes

    So pretty, Lars. Is this orchid fragrant? With that short of a bloom life, I guess it must be.

    Cheers,

    Lars. Is this orchid fragrant?
    Yes, but it has a slightly unpleasant chemical smell. Reminds me a bit of mothballs
