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!
