Cycnoches chlorochilon x Cycnodes Jumbo Micky
The pix are old and she's outside right now just growing, but she is my ABSOLUTE first introduction to the Catasetinae alliance world that has grown to become my favorite !!! I've been clued in by an AOS judge very familiar with Catasetinae that this one had the best COLOR he'd ever seen ! I've tried the last 2 seasons to get to the judging with her in bloom. 2009 and she was JUST on the last of her 2 week window and starting to show wilt signs = passed by. Last year I was on the way and VERY OPTIMISTIC about an award, she had 2 spikes in 95% full bloom like the pix, and my car died on the way !! I couldn't raise ANYONE to come to the rescue and get me to the judging !!! Maybe this year !!
