Elaine, names defy understanding. Orange Blossom Special has a pink flower and my flowers never had an orange fragrance. I am no good when it comes to describing fragrance, but I do know what an orange smells like. Sticking tongue out The one plant that I had was even more pink than your picture shows, but lost some of the pink as the flower aged, similar to that NOID I have posted. Your picture looks like my OBS flowers looked after 2-3 days in the sun. Let's see what your flowers do over a few days. Maybe my NOID is the Orange Blossom Special.

Speaking of fragrance, everywhere I look, I see that my Max. tenuifolio has a coconut fragrance, and the plant even goes by the name "Coconut Orchid". To me the fragrance is nothing like coconut. Go figure.

By the way, if you ever take cuttings, I would love to have one or more. I don't have that variety any longer. It was always such a good bloomer and I did enjoy its flowers. I will either purchase the cutting(s) or trade for it/them.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
