Hello Holland and all orchid growers too! Start watching this channel! In Germany, it is frustrating that the shops don't have the Latin names nor the names on the pots of orchids. Another problem is that the orchids don't like it in the shop environments and stay stressed. They do not have any fragrance at all. Hello Miss Orchid Girl! It really helps to see some examples of fragrant orchids on your videos to get a feel for the appearance of fragrant families and parents of wonderfully fragrant orchids. It is hard to shop for an orchid without any chance of knowing its name to research about it, nor to be able to percieve its scent in a garden center. After a sales person has told me that they have no fragrant orchids, I could say, 'Oh look! There's one over there!' At home, when the sun comes up, they fill the air with perfume. Now I would like some orchids with perfumes for the evening. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Education is a wonderful gift to give!
I have a Oncidium Tsiku Marguerite smells very much like the Sherry Baby. It’s a nice alternative to the Sherry Baby as it’s a much smaller orchid, it’s twinkle size. If your short on space and want a chocolate fragrance it might be the orchid for you.
Oddly enough, I just received a 39 page print out of orchids and their smells. (The length was mainly due to huge font size and double spacing between.) One was even described as "100 dead elephants rotting in the sun!" So, you asked for the chocolate smells--so here it goes: Anguloa clowesii--chocolate & mint, paste, coconut, citrus (I'm guessing the various ways it smells to the most people) Brassavola flagellaris--Hot Chocolate Cattleya loddigesii--baked milk chocolate Encyclia phoenicea--chocolate Epidendrum phoeniceum--chocolate Gongora unicolor--chocolate-flavored corn chips, sweet, cocoa Oncidium ornithorhynchum "Lilac Blossom"-- (ok, why lilac isn't the smell no idea) vanilla, "like a fresh morning," baby powder, grape, spicy, cinnamon, cocoa, candy sweet Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Misaki'--chocolate, vanilla (basically all Sharry Babies. The name within the quotation marks is the clonal or cultivar name. For a brief description on orchid names: www.aos.org/orchids/additional-resources/basics-of-orchid-names.aspx ) Paphiopedilum emersonii--chocolate Stanhopea embreei--chocolate Stanhopea oculata--chocolate On the list I got, Encyclia cordigera is listed as smelling like honey & vanilla. So, Danny, it just goes to prove your theory of suggestion and whose nose is doing the smelling!
Esteban Martinez Sorry, no. Pine was not one of the fragrances. But there was one described as “100 rotting elephant corpses” or something close to that. 😁
Thank you so much for all the wonderful info you teach us! I loved learning of other types of chocolate orchids... I only knew of Sherry Baby and Redolance. I have Redolance and it smells very chocolatey with a bit of citronella at the end😊 she's in bloom right now and is beautiful 😍
I have a miltonia (i guess), that smell to me like chocolate syrup made out of cocoa, water and sugar. It also smell like watermelon and for some people forest berries. So i guess it smells like taste of something made out of water and sugar.
My Sharry Baby "Sweet Fragrance" reminds me of the cheap hot chocolate that was sold am my school when I was a kid. Kind of like very cheap, too sweet milk chocolate with a hint of vanilla rather than than a straight chocolate scent. Mine is not as strong as I thought it would be but it might be that my house was so cool when it was flowering back in December that the scent just didn't travel as much.
Hello Danny, My Encyclia cordigera smells more similar to sharry baby and very intense. I have only 2 flowers still I can feel it's strong fragrance. Thank you for the chocolaty video.
Yay! Great to see the Oncidium Heaven Scent. I have the same variety, I had to fight for ages to get it (eBay seller would not post it, thankfully I got it after 3 months, just couldn't find it anywhere else). Thank you for letting us know how it's getting on, now I know I can look forward to a lovely chocolate fragrance when it next blooms :D I smelt the Maxilaria 'Malibu' (if it's related or tenufolia variety I'm not sure) but it smelled exactly like warm caramel to me.
Top of the morning Mmmm that sounds delicious lollipop!!! I'm a new subscriber Love you channel. Thanks for the information. Very useful to be able to have the knowledge to take care of my new orchids, got 2 for mother's day. Very lovely but don't know what to do next, to care for them. Thank you again 💗👸💗
Hi danny, i would like to ask about my oncidium orchids are they need more on water or just slight i have 1 collection of oncidium but it seems so sad look like please advise me a proper watering or anything else.
Could you do an update on your Maxillaria Tenuifolia please? I am having the hardest time to get mine to grow at all. It is potted in LECA with the semi-hydro system. Thank you!
I'm not sure if this helps but my Maxillari are currently blooming at the moment. They are in sphagnum moss, and I never let it dry out completely. They're also getting a lot of sun in a southwestern window. I feel like they need a lot of water, more than any other orchids that I own.
I like the background music :) & its crazy I've only smelled 3 different sherry babys, and I havent smelled it yet:( maybe it was my nose 😂. Looks awesome and psuedobulbs look great!!! Also I had a question, I took home some oncidiums my boss found growing. They were covered by other plants. It barely got sun. none have bloomed and yet they still grew. My question is will they bloom on their growths or will they have to grow new ones?
I’m surprised that you say its fragrance is not at all floral. To me, these have the most wonderful sweet fragrance of chocolate mixed with some type of lily. It is true that everyone detects scents differently. I am curious as to whether other people smell the lily scent mixed in with all that chocolate.
Hahaha, I smelled it before anyone told me what it was, so I don't think I was persuaded into thinking it smelled a certain way. :) Oh, and redOlence, the stress is on the O. It's an uncommon word for sure!
I think that I have spotted relatives of some chocolate orchids but there is no smell in the stressed orchids in the store and like this😷 not easy. The label just mentions the company name but not one clue about the name of the orchid. Oops, then although beautiful, I had to leave them there. Could these nurseries, if you are watching, please label them??????
Hi. Your orchids are beautiful!! I want to ask you if you had or can please make a video about artificial lights we can use with orchids. Right now I am not using any because is summer, but I will need it for the winter. I'm in New Jersey, USA. I'm a newbie with orchids. Trying to learn all I can from your channel. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!!!
She has the lights she uses listed in the comments above. If you don't see it, click on "See More" and the screen should drop down revealing her summary of the video, links to other videos referenced, her links to supplies and equipment. You can also do a search within UA-cam for Miss OrchidGirl and lights or equipment or set up and see what you get. She's done several in the past year or two when her boyfriend helped her install new shelves and lights and he daisy-chained them together. Honestly, I wish he'd do a video on her channel showing us how to do the daisy-chain wiring and the ultimate "pig tail" wiring (the part that goes into the wall.) I am not an electrician by any means and it's a little intimidating.
Dani:"One cannot simply have them all"
Dani: *has them all*

I finally got a Sherry Baby it has 3 spikes blooms aren’t open yet but I’m excited 😆 to smell and see the pretty flowers

Do you know of any smelling like pine?
Esteban Martinez Sorry, no. Pine was not one of the fragrances. But there was one described as “100 rotting elephant corpses” or something close to that. 😁
I can confirm encyclia cordigera smells like chocolate, at least to me anyway.
I have one of these Chocolate orchids and I love it!!! The man I get mine from also had a coconut!
Nice video regarding orchid fragrance! Some sherry babies (special cultivars) smell like cloves, very nice perfume. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful info you teach us! I loved learning of other types of chocolate orchids... I only knew of Sherry Baby and Redolance. I have Redolance and it smells very chocolatey with a bit of citronella at the end😊 she's in bloom right now and is beautiful 😍
The psuedobulbs on the last orchid are so cute! 🌸
I have a miltonia (i guess), that smell to me like chocolate syrup made out of cocoa, water and sugar. It also smell like watermelon and for some people forest berries. So i guess it smells like taste of something made out of water and sugar.
Finally I'm getting a sharry baby Danny! Have you ever heard of red fantasy? It's the name on the tag ? It's all because of you and your videos ☺☺☺
Oh no, I can't watch this, I would buy them... :D
I tasted the water it's sweet.
My Sharry Baby "Sweet Fragrance" reminds me of the cheap hot chocolate that was sold am my school when I was a kid.

Hello Danny,
My Encyclia cordigera smells more similar to sharry baby and very intense. I have only 2 flowers still I can feel it's strong fragrance. Thank you for the chocolaty video.
The coconut/peach situation reminds me of the white-gold/black-blue dress picture... fascinating
Aces up its leaves 😂 love it!!!! I really hope I can get one of these orchids soon!
Wilsonara Finial Fire “Clown” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰
i need more moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to buy orchjids. I spent a lot for fragrance flowers and fragrance orchids/hoya. omg never enough lmao
I was just smelling a Heaven Sent and I definitely smells like milk chocolate. Makes me think of Hershey chocolate.
Yay! Great to see the Oncidium Heaven Scent. I have the same variety, I had to fight for ages to get it (eBay seller would not post it, thankfully I got it after 3 months, just couldn't find it anywhere else).

I would love to read a book written by you
Top of the morning
Mmmm that sounds delicious lollipop!!!
I'm a new subscriber
Love you channel.
Thanks for the information.
Very useful to be able to have the knowledge to take care of my new orchids, got 2 for mother's day.
Very lovely but don't know what to do next, to care for them.
Thank you again 💗👸💗
Thanks for this talk. I don't have the Kolibri. Will have to add it to my wish list.
Hi Danny. My Sharry Baby is spiking and will be flowering also. Hope I don't have to leave it outside or boot me from my home. 🤣
Thomas M Nah. You’ll be fine. I find Zygos to be much more powerful in intensity of perfume.
Hi danny, i would like to ask about my oncidium orchids are they need more on water or just slight i have 1 collection of oncidium but it seems so sad look like please advise me a proper watering or anything else.

Where is a good place to acquire these orchids in the US, particularly the Sharry Baby?

It is true that everyone detects scents differently. I am curious as to whether other people smell the lily scent mixed in with all that chocolate.
Hi! I have an Odontonia Pacific Paranoia other side of cool. I can't decide if it smells like vanilla or chocolate. Weird
Hahaha, I smelled it before anyone told me what it was, so I don't think I was persuaded into thinking it smelled a certain way. :) Oh, and redOlence, the stress is on the O. It's an uncommon word for sure!
beautiful as always
Do you know if ruths rainbow has a scent? Looks like a sharry baby but i cant smell a scent?
Hi Missorchidgirl, the oncidium heaven scent that I have has bigger pseudo bulbs than my near specimen sharry baby

@@tanyastelly6243 thank you so much!! I will check on those!! Take care!😉
I get a coco butter smell
my oncidium didn't smell like much at all when it bloomed :(
I had one but it died.
If I see any of these in a store I'm going to want to do more than smell them😂
Ive got kolibri oncidiums and phals.
What does it mean?
