Stanhopea connata
 

This opended 6 days ago. It has always bloomed with 3 flowers on each inflorescence and blooms 2 or 3 times a year . It is a seedling that is the result of selfing connata 'Orange Jewel'. The fragrance is simular to the smell of a new leather shoe and a tuch of easter lily.

In January Stan. Chocolate Eyes 'Green Ice' was in bloom. This is (inodora X Mormon Pioneer). Its fragrance is a light sent of something between hyacinth and narcissus. There is a photo of it in my Photos.

Those are both great! Ive actually been thinking about getting a conata for myself from Tropical Orchid Farm. They have the 'orange sherbert' clone and it looks really cool. Same care for these ones as all the rest?

I really dig that chocolate eyes, these are fantastic!!! The scent descriptions are the best LOL

Good color flowers and an interesting scent.
