That is amazing! Do the flowers last long on this one? How often do they bloom?

Thank you guys
Vanda lover, they bloom only once a year, only on the new pseudo-bulbs. It is my first Clowesia, I don't know how long the flowers will last, but some growers say between 2 to 4 weeks.

Well, they will certainly be something for you to look forward to each year. I notice you are in Vancouver! Any good orchid growers in your area? We're in Port Alberni.

This is probably my favorite Catasetinae hybrid. I have the same clone and it is currently blooming too, though it only put out one flower this year.  Anyway, the scent is absolutely OUTSTANDING!! Enjoy!! |

Thank you all,
I've been in love with Clowesia species for years, but only recently I could purchase some, and I was not disappointed! They have really beautiful blooms and scent!
