Amazing Cochleanthes Amazing

Nice pics, Dorothy! Thank you for the hybrids informations. Unfortunately they are hard to find in Brazil (even through Ecuagenera)

In my searching during the Project 4 plant, I found cochleanthes candida here

This one, not unlike the others, is pleasantly fragrant but one I can not get in the USA.

Thanks Dorothy, I'm waiting to order this Cochleanthes in the spring, jointly with another 'chids. I'd mentioned Ecuagenera 'cause they have 5 Cochleanthes in catalogue (amazonica, discolor, flablelliformis, ionoleuca and marginata) and all are "not available this time"! I'm choosing the plants for the importation from Ecuador scheduled for november/2007.

WOW!!!
Go for it!
I just found where I can get a flablelliformis variety

Thanks for looking

Very very pretty...I love those mauves/whites! All of your orchids are so beautiful....lucky you! I'd like to see just one of my few bloom....I had my new brassia in bloom but of course it was in bud when I got it....

Okay guys you really did hijack my thread!

Well .. the first 2 blooms never unfurled ... I am figuring that was from a bit of blast from the shipping but
it has since put out a new bud which has opened .. (Doing the banana dance!)
and 2 more buds are growing!
I must say it again .. it is simply amazing!
One of my all time favorites!

WOW!!!

D, that's stunning!

I am in total love with this plant .. the vanilla-clove fragrance is one I find myself constantly wafting. It scents in the morning with my violaceas and eurychone
and it's a continuous bloomer - Bonus!
