Jim, you got a beautiful show going on there.
And yes, I really love the scent of Stanhopea wardii blooms too. They smell already the night before they open through just a little "seam" in those buds.
It is also nice to watch them opening, they just pop and start lifting, flipping and folding those cute petals and sepals. It takes ca. an hour or two, (probably depending on temperature) and then the whole spike starts looking like a swarm of pretty insects flying in formation.
