A Rose by Another Name
When is a rose not a rose? Maybe when it’s an orchid that smells like a rose. This mini orchid has small flowers with big fragrance. I’ve blogged before about this beautiful Caucaea species. It’s an easy cool grower with a delicious rose scent.
Last autumn, this plant’s blooms were damaged during a windy storm. Happily, it grew a replacement spike last month. Despite its diminutive size, I can catch its perfume from several steps away in our back garden. It’s proof that a rose by another name can smell just as sweet.
