Maxillaria triloris

[Ron-NY]

A species from Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. First bloom for me on this one. Nicely fragrant, flower about 4.5" petal span. The reverse of the flower has stronger color than the front which is unusual for most flowers.

You have the coolest orchids

Great flower Ron, I like those a lot! My plant is much larger but no flowers around Jean

 

[Ron-NY]

Jean, how much light are you giving yours? I tend to give my Maxillaria more light than what is recommended. More so in the winter than in the hot months.

Huge flower! Must be quite spectacular as a large plant.

That's nice, Ron!

Mine went by last week.

 

[Ron-NY]

Peter, I believe this is one that I got from you in a trade... thank you!

Ron, here a pict. of my plant from last year. I give it as much light as for my Laelias (not just as much as for catts), I even have sun burn on leaves from time to time: Maybe I should repot it! Jean

 

[Ron-NY]

Jean, it is looking like it is ready to repot :rollhappy: It is a nice sized plant.
