Mormodes rolfeana

[Djthomp28]

Mormodes, with their twist and turns, are definitely not for everyone, I love the strong colors and patterns that they bring to the table. This one is HEAVELY scented. It is a spicy, sweet menthol scent.

Did you know that once it’s pollinated it will straighten the lip?

@DrLeslieEe are you pulling my leg?

Try it… it can’t self pollinate so use a pollen from next flower.

Another nice example of the weird and wonderful genus. Thank you.

I love it, DJ. Strong color and heavy fragrance are reason enough for me! I've currently got Cycnoches fever, just received two more from SVO's latest list.
Leslie super interesting fact there! Had no idea.

Darlene, these flowers look great and weird at the same time by their shape and colouration .... but I like them. Great photos, too. Congrats
