Cycnoches cooperi x Cyc. Jean E. Monnier female flower

[smartie2000]

The cross is Cycnoches cooperi ‘SVO III’ FCC/AOS x Cyc. Jean E. Monnier ‘SVO II’ HCC/AOS. I just got the plant last month, and this is its first blooming, a single female flower. I was hoping for more spots.



The bloom deepens significantly as it matures, the the lip turns a deep yellow from a white lip.


Hopefully next blooming will be better, I think the house has been very dry now that heating has kicked in. The petals appear bumpy...perhaps they didn't expand fully?

Other plants we have seen this year (of male flowers):

Very nice colored one! I love this hybrid... it brings back the "shiny metallic" look of cooperi to the flowers, which is normally lost in Jean E. Monnier... I am sure you will have a greta show next year!
