Stan. Lydia Bush (Stan. nigroviolacea X Stan. grandiflora)
It may only be the first week in April but here in Florida, Summer is already here. The Sanhopeas are starting to bloom. Stan. Lydia Bush (Stan. nigroviolacea X Stan. grandiflora) has got to be one of my favorite hybrids. The flowers are about 8' across and smell sort of like hyacinths.

Smarty pants, so I did not hit the shift key, sue me!!!!!!!!
Just to set the record straight the flower is not 8 feet across it is 8 inches. Doesn't make me like it any less.  |

Those are beautiful, Glen. And with those two parents, it should be fairly temperature tolerant (although maybe that's not such a great concern for you based on your location). Stanhopea hybrids aren't all that easy to come by. Mind divulging your source?
