    Smile Chysis Bractescens

    From South America very sweet scented and difficult to explained. Free flowering here need huge pot because the pseudobulbs are so big and huge. Used charcoal and spagn. for growing. Once flowers bud appeared always bring inside the house because the insects very jealous to see and bite the juicy petals. Yam.YamYam. Delicious?

    Beautiful. The petals look very "fleshy".

    Very pretty. I love the tinge of yellow near the edges of the petals and sepals.

    Zain, be careful bringing that into the house. The flower looks like it can bite back!!!
