Cyrtorchis? Are they good for the collection?
Hello All,
I have recently "discovered" a new genus for sale for cultivation called Cyrtorchis. It looks to be a type of Angraecum.
Should I get one? Is there a particularly good or noteworthy species I should look into? I really like nice fragrances.
So far, I see three for sale:Cyrtorchis arcuate, Cyrtorchis praetermissa, and Cyrtorchis chailluana. Is one of these particularly interesting or fragrant?

Of the three, I have Cyrtorchis chailluana. I don't have fragrance in my notes, but if subtle I could have missed it, or just neglected to note it. But it is a really beautiful flower - and the slightly wavy leaves are also attractive.
Another Angraecoid you might find interesting is Podangis dactyloceras. The flowers are translucent and crystalline, and look very fragile - but actually, are relatively long-lasting. I don't recall fragrance (again, I may have just neglected to note it), but really lovely.

Something like this... and both this and any of the Cyrtorchis are warm growers. |

Just to complete the picture, here's my Cyrtorchis chailluana. And, they're both small. |

Particularly check Cal Orchid - they typically have lots of Angraecoids. And their plants are excellent. |

Nope, not there, or anywhere I can find in US... yet. DC needs to go searching. I have to start my pasta sauce.
