Here is my newly acquired Cochleanthes Amazing (Cnths amazonia X Cnths flabelliformis) - I am waiting patiently for the lip to uncurl. I purchased this plant on eBay from orchidtn and it's very lush and healthy :)
Thanks for looking :D

I have read it has a faint, sweel smell. I have yet to indulge in the olfactory experience :)
This is my first Maxillaria/Zygopetalum :D

Bolleanthes are a hybrid between cochleanthes and bollea

There are also Pescatoranthes - hybrid between Pescatoria and Cochleanthes
http://www.fascinationoforchids.com/...ntral/502a.jpg - Pescatoranthes Star Sapphire
In total, there are 25 intergeneric hybrid names.

There is another cross called Cochleanthes Moilere - cochleanthes amazonica X cochleanthes discolor

There aren't many Cochleanthes species to begin with (especially to purchase, from my experience). I find them fascinatingly (I think I just made that word up :coverlaugh: ) different. :)

I have yet to purchase a little one called Cochleanthes discolor but I hope so soon :D
