Mormodes sinuata x hookeri (black fuzz)
 

I got this plant early this year and here is its first bloom, I like very much the dark red wine color and the hairy lip (very strange for me). The flowers size I can say is quite big for this kind of plants. The fragance is also unussual for me is different to the other mormodes I already have, it smels like burnt caramel with a back ground of tutti frutti. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Colour, form, those tiny dots at the edges.. oh ….. oh …. It is SOOOOOOO good! :rofl:

Mine starts growing spike …. It would be really interesting to compare them, especially because it would be first blooming for mine and I have no idea how it’ll look like.
Bruno, is yours from Sunset Valley Orchids?

:biggrin:
Actually, Jan, I restricted myself to three but this one worth many more opossums .... :lol::lol::lol:

Thank you very much Gena, yes you are right would be interesting to know any change in coloration and form, actually when I bought it from sun set valley I did not know what kind of plant I was acquiring, and now looking the result I can tell you that I am very happy with it. I sent the picture to Fred Clarke suggesting him to include it in his web page as a reference for future buyers.

Thanks a lot Steve.

:lol:
Same here, Bruno! One thing I was thinking about was Mormodes sinuata - usually hybrids with Mormodes sinuata are quite interesting. And yours confirm that! :)
