Clowesetum - first blooming

[nancy]

Greetings -
This is Clowesia russelliana x Ctsm. expansum. The flowers opened very greenish, but have become more eggyolk yellow as they age. The first to open (a little more than 2 weeks ago) are still on the inflorescence, so they apparently last well (at least, compared to other Catasetinae). Daytime fragrance of lime/citronella.
Enjoy - Nancy
It is actually labeled Clowesis warcswiczii x Catasetum expansum. I just didn't want to try to have to type 'warcswiczii'.

Those are very nice Nancy. First blooming ever or just first for you?

Great blooms! Does this one smell like Pine Sol or a sweet scent?

Your plant is registered as Clowesetum Black Jade; it has five awards. Color descriptions green or apple green.

The grex, White Magic, (warscewiczii x Orchidglade) has three awards. Color described as chartreuse or lime yellow; White Magic also has a very fimbriated (fringed) lip as in your plant, hence Mark15 suggestion.

In any case, yours is a lovely flower!

Love the color and that frilly lip

Well, everybody's right and my memory is shot! I checked the tag, and it says Clowesia warcswiczii x Catasetum expansum...and I think I knew that when I posted the photo, but something short-circuited.
Thanks to all - this plant has grown very well, and I expect it will begin losing leaves/gaining inflorescence in another month.

Worse yet, the plant is labeled correctly in my photo files.
