    Love Maxillaria's. Is it also aromatic?

    nice one Clark.

    I thought I recalled mine being fragrant. I will have to check on that tomorrow.

    Nice one, Clark. How big are the flowers on that one? I have two clones of this species, both yellow, and one has 1" flowers. The other has 1cm flowers. I prefer the larger one, but it isn't doing very well...

    Regarding fragrance, I have Max variabilis, both the yellow and red varieties. The yellow one has a strong scent sort of like cedar wood and caramel. Very nice! The red one is fragrant too, but not as strong. I guess it's a trade-off between fragrance and color.
