Coryanthes macrantha
Got to be one of my favorites now after it has bloomed for me. Missed the first show while I was on vacation but now it produces again only a month later. Great leopard type spotting on it!

Hey Rtsingleton,
That's very cool! 
I don't grow these myself, so it's always nice to see them when others post their photos...is this guy fragrant?
I'm glad that it's giving you a second showing...thanks for sharing it with us.  |

I don't detect any scent from it but haven't gotten right up close yet.

I grow it hot and bright, 90 degrees during the day but I don't have exact foot candles... blooms officially lasted 3 days before starting to go dark red and wilt. But there's another about 75% mature and 5 new growths coming out quickly. I'll try to get a pic of the full plant.

Yes, those certainly are beautiful flowers. Are they fragrant?

They weren't fragrant for me but I've heard of people having some fragrance with different variations of macrantha
