Coryanthes Bloom

[Mandy2705]

I thought this bloom should have its own thread bc it's AWESOME! Haha This is one of the coolest orchids in my collection and so far is a great bloomer. Still smells great, however I can specifically describe what it smells like. It resembles sweet licorice.
I am not sure what this orchid is called, the tag says acranthes, but it could be macranthe?

Awesome and strange, my kind of bloom. Great picture as well. Congrats on the bloom.

Thank you, I have seen two growths that actually look like spikes! These are very clear to distinguish as spikes

Thank you...thank goodness this orchid was in spike bc I just moved and since only a few of orchid were in spike I was able to find a display space for them. The others that I moved, I placed infront of the window. My sun loving, early morning boyfriend opened the curtains and within one hour I lost about five orchids (mostly primary phals 😭&#128557 and many others were set back by sunburn. I was planning on moving them upstairs that very morning but I wasn't fast enough
