    That is OK, O-Diane!
    However, I would not attribute that to fragrance. I would call it "smell". If you are lucky, maybe you could get a fragrant standard cym. Many of standard cym species used to create hybrids in distant past are fragrant (tracyanum to make spots and stripes cyms, hookerianum, eburnum, just to name a few). So I surmise that the fragrance genes are still lurking somewhere in our many thousand cym hybrids. Miniature hybrids might get their fragrance from the parent species. Many of these miniature cym species are extremely fragrant!
    BTW, I only refer to the above three standard cymbidium plants, which have no fragrance that my senstitive nose can detect.

    Cheers. Hoa.

    Well gosh, now I'm confused...

    We know Sir Speedo has been crowned, but now I'm not sure if it's for the silly thing, or for the Speedo, or for his nose...although I did have a friend who did weigh-ins at sailing regattas and she said that the guys' noses often resembled their look in their undies ...well no...I don't quite remember what she said...oh, never mind!

    But, er...ah...your Tallness, or...ah... your Highness, that is, I'm thinking maybe a tracyanum might bet a better use of misspent funds than overpriced Catts...
