Tips and information about scented orchids

Orchids have become popular mainly because of their marvellous flowers. However, some species also exude a pleasantly sweet fragrance. The facets of their odeurs range from subtle to penetrating and are reminiscent of exotic fruit varieties or spicy flavours.

Why do orchids actually smell?

We love to smell flowers! But just like the beautiful blossom, their fragrance is not intended to beguile us humans. Rather, it fulfils a practical purpose: the scent of the flower gives the plant an evolutionary advantage because it attracts very specific pollinators and helps the plant to reproduce. For example, the flower of the South African orchid species Satyrium pumilum smells like a dead animal to flesh flies and attracts them with the promise of a meal. When the fly realises that it has been led around by the nose, it has long since pollinated the flower. Another species emits an odour that is modelled on the sexual attractants of pollinating insects. If a male insect smells the odour, it believes it will find a female on the orchid flower who is willing to mate and pollinates the flower while it searches in vain for its partner.

Natural forms and modern hybrids

We are more fond of orchids that have a sweet fragrance, even to our noses. Breeders have crossed other outstanding characteristics into fragrant orchids so that we don't have to sacrifice flowering vigour or vigorous growth. However, natural forms have the edge when it comes to fragrance. The number of scent cells in the flower determines how strong a flower smells and original forms have more of these than multihybrids.

If you would like to bring such a special orchid into your home, you should contact a specialised dealer. Scented orchids are special species that are difficult to find in DIY stores.

These species are fragrant

In our favourite genus of butterfly orchids (Phalaenopsis) there are some fragrant representatives that we are particularly fond of. The enchanting star-shaped flowers of Phalaenopsis corningiana, Phalaenopsis bellina and Phalaenopsis violacea have a spicy, aromatic scent reminiscent of cinnamon.

Within the Maxillaria group a few species such as Maxillaria tenuifolia or Maxillaria rufescens which are also called coconut orchids for obvious reasons - have stored their exotic ancestry in their flower scent. With a scent of vanilla, lemon or coconut, they add an exotic flair to your living room.

We love the magnificent flowers of Coleogyne cristata, but did you know that they not only look enchanting, but also smell delicately of bananas? Even though we love orchids above all for their eye-catching, extravagant flower shape, there are still some secret treasures to be discovered in the world of scented orchids!
