Cycnoches cooperi

[My Green Pets]

Fifteen flowers this year compared to last year's nine. Not 100% open yet, but couldn't resist posting. Last photo is next to a fading Cyc. Fire Embers, which is only 16% cooperi.

It is a great species. I had one, but failed to do right by it, alas.

Gorgeous flowers! And I love the photos, especially the fourth one.

Sorry if I overlooked it in another comment, but did you ever detect any fragrance from these flowers?

 

[My Green Pets]

Yes, there is a soft, warm, sweet, pervasive fragrance of chocolate-scented rubber.

The red tones cooperis are stunning! Well done.

Your plant is just stunning! It looks like a baroque work of art.

 

[My Green Pets]

I agree! So intricate and ornate!

One of my favorite species! You are great at growing this species along with your rex.

Again William, these flowers are pure artwork, very special and these copper tone colouration are the icing on the cake.
