Sweet flower.

But is that brown spot on the leaf in the foreground scale? It caught my eye because I've been fighting it on a couple of my plants recently.

Ouch good eye! Looks like we got ourselves a war boys..... Give 'em hell 54th... I love the smell of napalm in the morning, smells like victory....

Makes me mad! Somebody outbid me on a catasetum collection on eBay! :viking: Oh, nice flower.

Good. That's the best kind.

 

[Gideon]

Very nice

 

[bwester]

Heres an update on it. The flower is now completely open.

 

[Heather]

Totally reminds me of a little green alien man. Cool tho.

 

[Park Bear]

Little green 'man'? Exactly what part are you looking at Heather!?!

In the top petal (dorsal? what the heck is the terminology for Cyc's?) the bump is the eyes (or eyebrow?) the dark green is the mouth, and he's sort of floating in on those two sets of wings. See?

I'm pretty sure that'd be the lip. Cycs are one of those orchids that don't rotate 180 when they bloom.
