We have a stanhopea orchid blooming in the greenhouse right now. This is truly a unique orchid. The blooms grow out the base of the plant, like it is upside down. Each flower has a noticable strong scent. I personally think the flower smells something like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but that is just me. Other people think the scent smells like strong spices. When I first bought the orchid it was in bloom. The smell overtook my car and I had to lower the windows as it started to give me a headache. The flower itself looks like an abstract piece of artwork. The blooms are wide for an orchid, around 2-3". Each spike produces numerous blossoms. The great thing about this orchid is that it loves humidity and water. It does not like to dry out, so it is a good orchid for someone who has a heavy hand at watering. If the plant dries out it will drop the leaves. It also likes bright filtered light.
