Cycnodes Wine Delight 'Yellow Swan'

Beautiful! I just bought 'Jem' but the yellow is really nice! Maybe next year, I will need to add this one!

At least in all the plants I have seen...

Bud, do you know whether the fragrance is same as standard Wine Delight? I am editing this post.. I have just seen what you have written about the fragrance... does the fragrance change to something more with a touch of Eucalyptus during the day?

Thanks, Ramón!

You are right, this have the characteristics, textures and form of a Jumbo Puff....I dont have the parent info but maybe there is a strain in there.

Some Cycnoches have the spicy or eucaliptus fragrance...this 'yellow swan' has a fruity fragrance that permeates from the window to when I open the door....as if there was a person that walked past with perfume....especially intense later in the day when I am preparing to go to work

Thank You, Cody !
you can grow this orchid in your environment, in fact you can put this outdoors in the warmer months and then there is a couple of months winter rest when you need to forget about it in a cool dark place....the highest it can get is 22 inches when it spikes the leaves fall off and leave you with a footlong spike with eight to a dozen four inches cascading flowers.....

Lovely flowers, well done. The round pseudobulbs tell me that your plant received lots of sunlight.

This gave me two robust canes and each produced spikes. The flowers are bigger with more vivid colors this time and the fragrance is even more pronounced.

Ramón:

as the flowers fade away there is a strong eucalyptus smell in the middle of the day and borders towards camphor ball smell later in the afternoon

Thanks for the update. Great success, especially since it is windowsill grown. Nice pot btw too.
