Hi Mauro,
I have not heard of this species before. I love the veined lip and the soft pink petals in contrast. 
It looks like Jasen has been having success at growing this guy, so I'll probably not do to bad with it in my collection either...it's on the list!

It is very similar to C. walkeriana, David. If you can grow it, then you also can grow C. nobilior. And I can assure you it is worth having it! |

OMG, that is just sooo beautiful! The blooms look like they belong on a cake as decor.

Mauro, I think your thread may have brought me a little luck. I went in to check over my flasks, this morning, and noticed that a mother flask of C. nobilior v. amalie x self has successfully germinated! It was sown about ten days ago, and appears to have a pretty high germination rate. So, thank you, I guess!
