An orchid having a bad hair day!
My daughter went with me to Tamiami a couple years ago; she saw this blooming there and wanted one badly. I didn't have the big money to cough up for one then, but last year we went to Odom's and got one for her. It was big enough for me to cut a piece off for myself when I repotted it at home. Flowers are faintly fragrant, though I never tried it at night. (parentage is C. Moscombe x. Rhy. digbyana) Just a single bud per spike, but they're about 7"+. They've lasted pretty well in the mid to upper 80's temps we've been having.
My daughter's division; this pic was taken the day it opened fully. The next day, the bloom had flattened well. Hers opened 2 weeks before mine.
It made the centerpiece of my church's Easter cross!
