The flowers are 8 - 10 cm and the spike has 40 - 50 cm with +/- 20 flowers.... in this case my plant has 2 spikes...
I saw an old plant that has a spike of 4 m and lots and lots of beautifull yellows flowers....

TEXTUAL FROM ORCHIDSPECIES
"Cyrtochilum H.B.K. 1816 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae.

The 50 or so Cyrtochilum species were segregated from Oncidium on the basis of elongate rhizomes with well-spaced pseudobulbs, with 3 or 4 pairs of long leaves around the base, with sheaths that are longer than the pseudobulb which gives rise to an axillary, 9 to 12' [270 to 360 cm] long, branched, many flowered inflorescence with large flowers"
