Clone 2 flowered tonight and I have to report there's no scent from that either.
I attempted a bit of juggling whilst I was down there. I used a handheld camera, a handheld torch and held the pot.
No other person was involved
The results (apart from the Machairophyllum photos - see thread)
Clone 1, old flower showing much red on the petals.
Clone 2, no scent but larger flower than Clone 1..
Neohenricia

Re: Neohenricia
I find the scent a bit hit and miss on these. Maybe better on warmer days, but I'm not sure it's as simple as that.

It's good to see the flowers opening, scent or not Ian.
It's not as if they were shy of doing it.

Re: Neohenricia
You need more flowers
Having said that, last night there was a noticeable smell from the one open Neohenricia flower, and it hadn't been a hot day.Cheshire, UK

Re: Neohenricia
These are good for reliable scent, a cross between Neohenricia and Stomatium.
Or go the whole hog, guaranteed scent that fills the greenhouse.
Or a different sort of hybrid, between the two Neohenricia species. More of a curiosity than a blockbuster.
