Big plant, big flowers!! First pic is the leafed out version and following pics show flowers, which are also bigger than I thought they'd be. Smells wonderful!

I think I told you it's a beast! And, it's obviously very happy in Texas.

Dragon's is my favorite of all my Ctsm! Honestly, if I could only keep one in this group...Dragon's is the one that would stay.

Steve! That plant would barely fit in the bed of my Ridgeline! Where the heck do you all keep these?

I grow outside during the summer (March-November) and inside during winter. I'll post pics below.

Sure! It gets a lot of the Clowesia fragrance. I find its a mix of pine and anise. Similar to Cattleya walkeriana.
