Cycnodes Jumbo Puff
Flowering for the first time for me, this is a hybrid of Cycnoches warscewiczii and Mormodes badium. The first (and bigger) spike, after fully opening its blooms last week, was quickly decimated when I knocked it against a chair while trying to position it to be photographed. So, after learning a not-so-fun lesson, I've been very careful with this second spike, which finally opened its last bud two days ago. Waxy flowers that have a nice spicy fragrance that's especially strong during the first few hours of daylight. The second photograph was taken with flash.
