This second generation Cycnodes is a whopper. Big 4 inch flowers that last 3-1/2 weeks or more produce long sprays with a dozen or more flowers that arrange themselves really well on the spike. But best of all is the fragrance, which is simply intoxicating. This plant perfumed the entire top floor of my home with a sweet fragrance reminiscent of a lady's perfumed bath powder.
Grow this plant and others of this breeding much like Cycnoches. Good light, even moisture, good humidity and fresh air, and lots of nurishment will bring results. As usual, dry it off after flowering and then no water at all during its leafless period.
Jumbo Orchids of Taiwan originated this cross. Expect to see more from them, as they seem quite dedicated to breeding in the Catasetinae group.
