Maxillaria fucata 'Stoney Point'

[Ron-NY]

This is a cool to cold grower that is native to Peru and Ecuador

 

[SlipperFan]

Neat! You must have almost as many Maxes as you do Bulbos!

[Greenpaph]

Real nice, Ron! I've never seen this one!

Pretty flower! Does it have any fragrance?

[Ron-NY]

No fragrance as far as I can tell. It is new to my collection and the coloring does not match any that I find on the internet.

Dot, nowhere near as many Maxxies as Bulbos and both are such a big genera. I thing I have 40+ species of Maxxies.

They are working on reclassifying some of the Maxillaria. The rufescens group has been moved to Mormolyca. But that doesn't mean that I don't have an interest in Mormolyca,:rollhappy: I just added an undescribed species from that group. Suppose to have pretty red flowers. I have been told that it should be described in the near future bu German Carnovali and should be named Mormolyca dodsoni

Great flower Ron, a certain resemblance with sanderiana, also for the foliage!! Is it a large flower ?? Jean

 

[Ron-NY]

Jean...I believe it is in the Grandiflora group that sanderiana is also in...the flower is smaller than sanderiana. The flower is about 2" (5.08 cm) wide
