Another Mini Catasetum cross

[labskaus]

this is Ctsm. Melana Davison (Ctsm. denticulatum x Penang). It is compact, indeed, with the last mature bulb measuring about 10 cm and leaves of around 20 cm in length.
The flower size is pretty good (7 cm across the petals) and I like the large, flat lip. It appears that this cross is quite variable in colour. I'm also happy with the flower count of 15 (first bloom).
I haven't noticed a scent.

I think the flowers are quite elegant and the color eye catching.

Thank you all!

The individual flowers lasted about ten days and I have to correct myself, there was a scent of something like licorice in the morning.
I noticed that some of my Catasetum plants smell of elder, even when not in flower. Found it on this one a on Cat. rodigasianum.
