Amazing Cochleanthes Amazing

[Dorothy]

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

Bolleanthes are a hybrid between cochleanthes and bollea

There are also Pescatoranthes - hybrid between Pescatoria and Cochleanthes

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 ) different.

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