Cyc haagii x Cyc warscewiczii
This time it bloomed female. I show the male flowers from a prior blooming for comparison. The dimorphism on Cycnoches is not as dramatic as for Catasetums.

One of my favorite--and first acquired--Cycnoches. I LOVE the fragrance of Robert Dickow. Not an easy hybrid to find any longer, and yours looks outstanding, Roberta.

Thanks. I have had the plant for about 15 years - got it at a society auction, was donated by a rather elderly grower who had also had it for a long time. So no idea how old the plant is, could be 30 years or more. Doesn't get huge (a good thing) but has been very reliable.
