Haraella odorata... of whatta?

[Elena]

I keep reading that it's fragrant (plus the name sort of implies the same) but I'm yet to find out what the scent actually is. Any ideas?

They need a scratch and sniff website for orchids....someday maybe.

Some say it smells sweet , mine smells like plastic to me . Gin

I'm glad someone actually knew -- good job Gin.

I would have said from the name it was likely to have "Hella Odorata" -- you know smelly feet or dead animal carcas.

thanks for the laugh ! I had a plant called Mtdm. Hawaiian Sunset sounds nice,smelled like cat P ... Gin

I've never noticed any scent from mine. But then too, mine is in a terr so every chance that I'd miss it in any event.

It's a good question, but like Pavel, I've never detected a scent. I haven't done the Hoa stick-your-nose-in-every-flower thing, but no scent comes to mind.

I'll check it out next time around, but that could be a few months.

Pavel - how's her lordship doing?

Mine smells like a spice, I can't tell what spice, some people said it is a lemon spice.

I couldn't smell my haraella odorata, some said it was faintly fishy , and yes my hawaiian sunset smells like cat pee. Here is my haraella.

Thank you guys! I was hoping for something nice and smelly so might give this one a miss... at least for now.
