Another hybrid from Garden Orchids, who use trade names for their orchids. Cyp Kentucky Maxi is suspected to be kentuckiense x fasciolatum according to the grower I bought this from. Whatever it is I'm really liking it
The flowers are much larger than the Paville I posted recently. Both of them seemed to take a week or so to lift the dorsal after the bud first opened, the last picture shows the third flower on this where the dorsal is still lifting.
The two front flowers both come from the same growth, which seems to be a double growth, the base of the stem looks like two stems so close together they are merging, then the leaf two below the flowers has a double tip as though it's two leaves 80% overlapping. Then the stem splits properly into two and there are two flowers at the top. I didn't notice this until we were taking the pics, I had assumed it was two stems that were flowering.
The pouch has is an interesting shape, not sure if it's clear in the photos. It looks to be flattened in one direction.
Again credit to hubby for the photos.
