YES, this plant does now have a scent both day and night. It is a sweet, spicy, "clean" scent...maybe a bit of wintergreen crossed with clorox! The scent is getting stronger as time goes on.
I have confirmed that these are indeed MALE flowers. Both blooming cycnoches have male flowers. I under the "swan's neck" on the male flowers is long and skinny while on the female flowers the "neck" is much shorter and thicker. (Enough cycnoches sex talk.)
I will take a photo of the whole plant shortly. It is blooming in a 3 1/2" pot. I just moved it up from a 2 1/2" pot a few months ago. I didn't realize these plants will bloom so young. I understand from the breeder that 2-5 flowers on the first bloom is normal. He had not bloomed one of these on such a small growth before and was surprised.
I have another new cross about to bloom. I'll post next week when it opens. It has 12 large buds on it. Looks like they are going to be mustard color blooms.
