Chysis bractescens v.coerulea 'Hermosa Dawn' CHM/AOS

[tenman]

This is blooming late this year; dividing and repotting it last year set it back a little, hope I don't have to get the saw and pry bar out for it again too soon. First pic is a flower now open, second and third pics are representative of a good blooming, from a previous year. When it blooms in Feb, the cooler temps bring out a pale blue blush on the segments to match the lip. Usually has 21 or so 3" night-fragrant flowers on a large plant.

Nice. I'm guessing I got one of the divisions of this plant, thanks. How big are the P-bulbs on a blooming plant?

I agree -- gorgeous!

I see you let the pseudobulbs do their natural thing: hang down. Do you see any disadvantage to this?
