Cycnoches warscewiczii
Jeez, I always need to look up that species name for spelling!!  Anyway, normally I dont care for yellow or green flowers, but there are always exceptions! This species is a definite exception. These flowers are just HUGE compared to most Cyc flowers. I think my herrenhusanum female flowers were not even as big as these male flowers! FYI, male flowers of this genus tend to be much smaller than the female flowers. Just for reference (4th pic), you can see the flowers dwarf the Schomb tibicinus bulbs below the Cyc, as well as the Catt flowers to the right of the Cyc. The Catt flowers are a hybrid with a strong bowringiana shape and size. Anyway, enjoy!

Very nice, Steve. Even if this species had the ugliest flowers in the world, I think that the fantastic fragrance alone would be reason enough to grow it. Luckily, with looks and the scent, it's a definite conversation piece. Congratulations.

Outstanding bloom congratulations. I disagree that those flowers are ugly, instead I believe that they are very good looking ones. Also I think that there are no orchids in the world that have such a strong and nice fragance as cycnoches.
