But it takes a lot of growing skills, expert knowledge and endeavours in specification to bring the story to this point. You earn my full respect. Thanks also for the posted drawings.
Hopefully this Cycnoches is as fertile as herrenhusanum, and plants are available for a broader market in a few years. This awesome species can easily win any orchid lover's heart.

i would also add Colombia to those countries, remember there are huge areas that are not explored yet in colombia due to the Guerrilla (Farc and ELN) i do hope that going to those areas can be possible in the near future.
i appreciate and treasure earning your respect, but keep in mind that luck has an important factor in here, i bought a cyc peruvianum , i grew it as any other of my cycnoches in here, and had the big surprise when George Carr and alexis Pardo told me what this was.
now the big task and responsibility is in front of me, as it is the only recorded living plant of this species in cultivation, (no pressure) i know there are (has to be) more out there, cant be the only one, but still , i will do my best with the help of experts to have this jewel available to as many people as possible. sadly this species needs the female, otherwise i would have at least 4 seed pods forming right now.
i do have the pollen ready and in storage. i hope to see female flowers out.
