Colors are very difficult to get...somewhere in between the darkest one and the others.
There was no name so it is our mysterious exotic belle. I never have been able to keep an orchid for very long, way too fussy in spite of what some green-thumbed people have claimed.
I am watering it about once a week, a little more in this dry inside climate with mineral water making sure that not one single droplet falls on a leaf.....fun for someone rapid and impatient.....there is a slight fragrance sweet/spicy not entirely wonderful...don't know why...reminds me a tiny bit of ......................the odor of a corpse.......ok, I can see you guys.....even hear you perhaps....

The orchid is beautiful! The smell sounds odd - I've never thought of a corpse as having a sweet and spicy smell!
Charlie,
Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment.
Well, unfortunately I do know that smell(won't get into that but it is not a very macabre story actually), it is not spicy but it is a "sweet smell".
Well enough on that...LOL
Question: I did not find a way of leaving a comment on your blog.. did I miss something?
You are correct, the sweet smell you refer to would be due to the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and smells a bit like almonds. Enough of that! This blog is too beautiful for such talk!
What blog are you referring to as being unable to leave a comment?
