As many of you know, this is the primary hybrid between herrenhusanum and cooperi. I got this plant a few weeks ago from H&R and it was already in bud so I can't take credit for the blooms, but I had to post pics 'cause there is a lot of green in center of these flower. I've never seen one like it and I just hope that the 'green-ness' shows up well in the pics. These blooms are definitely male. Anyway, enjoy! The scent is awesome BTW!

Very nice flowers Steve, actually they have a lot of herrenhusanum influence which make them much prettier. Congratulations

Well Steve...whether you bloomed it or not, they are magnificent! You make me wish I could grow these...I've got only one Catasetinae left, and it's not looking too good right now. At least I can enjoy them from others like yourself.

Thanks!

I think the plants max out around 10-12" tall and that's including the leaves. They don't take up much horizontal space at all though as their bulbs grow very close to each other.
