I got this plant recently in low spike from Sunset VAlley Orchids. I am very happy with the outcome
Very dark flowers as expected, extreme fragrance (pepper, clove, citrus).

Jan 15th, the buds start to spread out of the spike, and grow bigger



Jan 24th, buds are turning very dark and start to open





Jan 28th, first flowers almost fully opened, very dark, I love it! The fragrance is very strong already!

Nice pics. And nice flower.
may I ask what growing media you use and how much water and sun it is given and what kind of pot you use?

I got a cycnodes pseudobulb recently and I think info might help me.
I'm thinking of potting mine in mix of bark,charcoal and a bit of coconut fiber and a little perlite and provide part shade.
I understand your growing condition may require different pot/media/sun/water but still want to get some idea.
