Eric,

Bravo! These blooms are stunning. You deserve a

for growing them so well.

Thanks for your post!

Eric, That's a great blooming! Keep it under these conditions, as it seems to be very happy!

However, this is not a Cycnoches chlorochilon. Look at this thread, to see a true Cyc. chlorochilon: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...orochilon.html

I would say that your plant is most probably the hybrid Cycnoches Kevin Clarke (Cyc. herrenhusanum x warscewiczii):

Kavanare i think your right i was just going by the tag when i bought it a couple years ago. Thats kinda a bummer because i try to just grow species . I guess this is proof you don't always get what the tag says. Owell Its still a very pretty flower . I'll stick it with the few hybrids i grow . thanks a lot for the info kavanare. I have a cooperi that going to bloom shortly hopefully it right to , luckly i bought them from differant growers.

Hybrid or no, its a great looking flower! My warsewiczii had a very strong scent and the flowers (male) lasted longer than most other Cycnoches species. Hopefully your plant will as well!

you can always send it to Switzerland

I habe species and hybrids, and catasetinae always have a special place in my heart and growing area

(specially this year, a good bloomer would be very welcome... while on holidaysm all my catasetinae were serverely attacked by thrips - I lost my Cycnoches hageii and all othes just refused to bloom

Not even Ctsm. pileatum 'Oro Verde' which is always bloom without problems...

and that was a perfect excuse to by another Ctsm. pielatum which is starting to spike riht now

à la "But Sweetheart, you know I cannot live without blooming Catasetinae, and this year they are all skipping blooming because of the thrips... I need to buy a fresh one to compensate the loss!!!" and there I was with my brand new Ctsm. pileatum "suspected to be var. aureum"
