Oh my goodness! Thank you! I was told it was a Catasetum, which I know nothing about, but I had to have this beauty and figured I would do my research. Then, I saw that tag and was utterly confused.

The fragrance is really strange. In the morning, it smells like Fruity Pebbles. In the evening, it changes over to a spearmint/hand sanitizer smell. That's the best I can describe it. It's not a bad smell at all. I had it in my car for a few hours before I brought it home and my car smelled very odd! I thought, am I leaking antifreeze somewhere?
