That is just awesome Steve! One of my favorite orchids, period. Mine is just starting to spike from one of the biggest growths I've ever had on it. And I agree, the scent is simply wonderful.

Yes, this one's definitely a fantastic species. How long do the blooms on your plant last, Steve? I've read that they're supposedly long lasting; however, the flowers on my plant never last for more than two weeks. Still, it's worth the effort just for the great fragrance alone. Congratulations.

Steve,
Two weeks for a Cycnoches is not bad at all! Honestly though, I've never really kept track of how long this one lasts. I'll let you know in a few weeks! |

Good luck! Remember, you have plenty of help on the OB to get you through your first Cycnoches. And hey, if you kill a few, that's ok too. Just be sure to start out with the cheap ones!  |
