Stanhopea Jungle Cat 'Top Dog'

[Gwallogwyn]

All of July has been in the high 90's with a week over 100degrees. Many of my stanhopeas have aborted spiks or have not opened all the way.
Stan. Jungle Cat is nigripes (not longipes) X tigrina. This year one of the petals on each flower is fused to the columm probably causted by the excessive heat when the buds were forming. The fragrance is a mixture of cinnamon, orange and chocolate. This is the first year Top Dog as been wounded.
