Catasetum juruense

first time blooming for this species in my collection. the sepals and petals measures to about 3.2cm  and the total flower size is about 6cm across. the labellum is 2cm across with serrated edge. there is a callus at the base of the labellum that has a laminar appearance.

Cynodes Taiwan Gold 'Taiwan Orange'

this hybrid is a cross between Cycnoches chlorochilon and Mormodes badia. the flower has  an extremely fragrant smell in the morning, like most of the catasetinae the smell is the strongest when there is sunlight. the petals and sepals are orangy mustard in color and the labellum has a very dark red coloration.
