Its a great hybrid! Are the lighter flowers the new ones and they darken as they age?

No these are the 'old' ones'. Maturing they get the aurantiaca parent colors. |

Very pretty. I like the dark colors. Are the flowers fragrant?

Do you know where you can get one? I really want to get a Chocolate Drop, as my parents had one in the '70's and its an old favorite of mine!
Yours is awesome!

First, Welcome!
Is there an orchid club nearby that you could join? Society auctions, where members often donate divisions of plants that they have had for a long time, can be a great source of classic hybrids. Also, take a look at Diamond Orchids There is a downloadable PDF, and I see that C. Chocolate Drop x self is listed. Peter T. Lin, the owner, has some really neat things, and is a great source. |
