Gin, that is a pretty neat looking flower and the red spots look like they have silver center! Where did they end up on the flower?

Your Coryanthes is so cool. What is the size of the bloom? either huge or a great zoom on your camera...

I believe the second photo shows the buds fully open...this is not the work of a serious artist!
Gin, I hate to ask: which (in your estimation) is ugly/not so ugly?
It's hard for me to believe that someone (and I think C&H offers the seedlings) crossed a Coryanthes with a Stanhopea - I guess they were hoping for the homeliest offspring imaginable!
Seriously, I love both genera (just not together), but they are definitely those "eye of the beholder" kind of flowers. Spectacularly scented, though.

It definitely is different!  No room for these guys in my collection.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
