    Default Maxillaria meleagris

    Have this one for 1/2 year. It's not hard to grow and it prefers a bit cooler temperature. Need to keep moist.

    The OrchidSpecies.com was saying it has coconut smell, but I did not smell anything.

    Maybe when it gets sunlight it will have a fragrance. Some put out a heavy perfume and some are very faint.
