    Beautiful plant and great species! Does your plant smell like cantaloupe melon?

    I have a diplocaulobium that I describe as watermelon rind fragrance. I know every time it is in bloom without looking. I have others labeled Diplo. aratriferum that don't have any fragrance that I have noted.

    Thanks! It certainly smells like cantaloupe with maybe a hint of cucumber. The fragrance is very strong as well. You can smell it even before the buds have opened.
