Thanks Geoff! I have heard that phrase about this one before. Too bad you have problems growing these they are great ones to have. Such a beautiful bloom that most times blooms at least 2 times during the growing season and I have some that do it 3 times each summer. The best thing is as they go dormant in the fall you leave them alone, no water, no fertilizer till spring.

Thanks for your comments. Yes there are some that have as many as 1500 different species and counting and that does not include all the hybrids now available, namely Bulbophyllum.
Called the swan orchid, I think. I dont do very well with the catasetum group, buthave flowered this one in the past, loved it, and lost it....
I have to admit, until I joined this forum I didn’t realize how many different types/species of orchids there were.I get a kick out of signing in each day and looking at the new posts,And whatever photographs have been posted.! Some of the blooms (Like the one above) Are absolutely amazing Because of their uniqueness.All of the blooms Have been beautiful....!
It's beautiful Jack as well as the photography! My Cycnoches is just starting to spike and if you remember last year, it won't bloom until January. Again, patience is a virtue with orchids but well worth the wait!
OK, Jack. Time to clean off those glasses.
The specific name is spelled "warszewiczii"
According to Kew, it has a “c” in the middle . Named for Josef Warscewicz. A Polish name, or maybe Prussian, I think. But do you know how they pronounce it in Wroclaw or Wkockaweck ? Myslatem, ze nie.!
But this is nit picking. We all know exactly which orchid we are talking about.
