Ditto that I'm happy your family is OK. 4 landfalls is a record, no?
As to the stanhopea I've noticed the same thing in cattleyas, that the first fragarence to hit your nose is sweet then later its either old melons or mothballs.
I have no idea if the mothball fragarence is particularly attractive to male euglossine bees. I know Lankersteriana published a few article in Spanish, but alas I don't read Spanish very well anymore. I *think* Rudolph Jenny did an article in 'Orchids' a month or two ago, but really, Google is your friend. Nina Rach from Houston has the Stanhopea pages and a quick email to her would probably yeild a good response.
