Two different species blooming at the same time. Cyrt. viresens is the yellow one and punctatum is the dark one. I also made a video comparing them here: https://youtu.be/SoI2pbT0Q14

Very nice job on the video. The closeups really brought out the beauty of the individual flowers. Those are monsters!

Thanks! This group is definitely not for those lacking space!

Those are outstanding. I like the flowers of both species, but the punctatum is especially attractive. Do either of them have any scent?

The punctatum has a very mild scent and you have to stick your nose right in the flower to catch it. I can't think of a way to describe the scent right now!
