Cyc. Jean E Monnier

[isurus79]

Another hermaphroditic form of a Cycnoches this year! Ive never had these forms, much less two separate plants in the same season! You can actually see the pollinia that were triggered by are still hanging on in the pics. Anyway, as you can see, this is by no means a stunning flower. If you look in my gallery, there is a picture of what the male flowers look like from last year and they are much more attractive (this is the red Jean E Monnier, not the brown one). Unfortunately, my pics dont represent the color accurately. These flowers are more of a dark purple brown than what you see here. The scent is pretty strong and very pleasant. Im going to try to push for a second bloom and see if I can get male flowers. The fact that I can manipulate 3 very different types of flowers from the same plant is very cool! Anyway, thanks for looking!
