Cycnoches cooperi
Here is Cycnoches cooperi 'SVO' x Cycnoches cooperi 'Mem. Pat Worthington' from SVO. This one seems to be my most reliable bloomer among my catasetinae. The blooms are darker than what's captured and emit a strong smell of rotting fruit.

Well, it's really a great-looking bloom. Both colors and shape are excellent. But the description of it strongly smelling of rotten fruit might take some getting used to. I like what I can see of your set-up also. It looks like there's quite a few catasetinae plants in your collection. Do you grow them under lights throughout the year?

Perhaps "strongly fermented fruit" might be a better term. It reminds me of durian or fermented foods. It's just not my cup of tea!
Thanks, I grow them outdoors Apr-Nov, and indoors Dec-Mar or so. I use metal shelving units (with wheels) from HomeDepot. They're easy to move around and nice to hang orchids as well.
I have a relatively easy time with clowesias and cycnoches but I haven't had much luck with catasetums. I'm slowly replacing all my catasetums at this point.

Great ! My vocabulary is lacking but I'm focused on the pale pink small section above the main attraction. Looks like a flower-on-flower at 12:00. So unusual but I guess the norm for cooperii?!

That's part of the reproductive structure. Neat, yes? |

Cycnoches are non-resupinate flowers (meaning the open right side up as opposed to most orchids that actuallly open upside down). For us orchid growers though, it means that these Cycnoches look like they are blooming upside down, and the pink lobes are part of the lip on this orchid |

I have a small 1st time budder from the last SVO 2022 list Fred put out this summer.
I have the same plant 2 small canes and one has 4 buds on it.  ohh we get to compare the flowers more...seems like mine are rather small but the cane is small also and that has a lot to do with the flower no? yes?.
