Wow, outstanding! Congrats! You get those from Orchid Trail?

Jealous! Beautiful plants, great work with them :)

These two are at the very top of my shopping list.

Phenomenal, just phenomenal!

The dowiana pattern is mesmerising! It reminds me of egyptian type patterns ------ trance patterns even! Amazing.

Outstanding blooms! Really makes you stop and appreciate them.

Are these considered difficult to grow like C. dowiana?

Dang! Triumphans is a monster compared to rex!

Gotta love that hybrid vigor!

Really gorgeous! How would you describe the difference in fragrance?
