Cycnoches cooperi

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Another plant that should finish blooming right before our local Mid America

This is the first blooming with two spikes, and I didn't realize how scented these were! It smells just like Tuberolabium kotoense which is one of my favorite orchid fragrances since it reminds me of a toy or candy from my childhood that I've never been able to place.

Absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully grown!!! That is my favorite species in the catasetum group and that one is a winner for sure. Amazing!!!

Where did it come from if you don't mind me asking?

Wow!

Mine has a scent that reminds me a little of cotton candy. It is radically different from any other cycnoches species I've smelled.

I'll check the tag when I get home to see where it came from since I'm pretty sure it still has the original tag.

Now I just need to invest in the 100mm macro lens for my camera

Hey, that's beautiful! :clap:

Very nice. I got mine from OW years ago. I don't think I've gotten 2 spikes at once from it, though. Good job.

That is spectacular, Jon. First bloom? And with two spikes -- WOW.

I'll check the tag when I get home to see where it came from since I'm pretty sure it still has the original tag.

Thanks - I would appreciate that.

That's gorgeous.

I'm curious though...what's the rock on the left? It looks like it's carved with some sort of Celtic design.

LOL Heather...

You know those Tshirts that say "My parents went to Loch Ness and all I got was this shirt". It's the geological equivalent of that

Turns out it originally came from Hoosier Orchid Company. The cross is 'Hihimanu' x 'H&R'

Yes but H&R ('H&R' clone is one of the parents) has them along with Sunset Valley Orchids. Both are excellent vendors.

Very nice. Jim would drool over that one. Sure would look good in the display. Never fails does it?
