Cycnoches William Clarke - Orchid Board

Cycnoches William Clarke is a relatively new primary hybrid registered by F.Clarke in 2004. The parents are Cycnoches herrenhusanum and Cycnoches cooperi.
My plant is blooming now for the first time. I do like the coloration – it is really somewhere in between herrenhusanum and cooperi. The plant is from Brazil.

look Gena, you have a dead opossum, but I found a better one hehe, the suicidal road-kill opossum... It's yummy, ready to be prepared stuffed with apples and rum.

By the way, I don't have better words to describe that hybrid has the first mustard colored orchid I meet. Now thanks to you I am hungry, I am dying for a bratwurst with spicy-turnip-mustard

Not only flowers Gena, also pseudobulbs provoke primordial hunger on me... Every time I visit Bruno's house I end imagine every thick, juicy new Catasetum pseudobulb cut in dices mixed with radiccio, endives with mustard-balsamic vinegar top maybe with camembert cheese and Walnut Nuts added on it

........ but that only happens with Catasetinae... Vandas, Cattleyas or Phalaenopsis only the flowers provoke my orchid-salad fantasies.

P.D. The only ones that don't proke my hunger are Cycnoches pseudobulbs... why?... well loddigesii pseudobulbs are so horse-phallic-shaped that I think in the future wen chinese pharmacist discover once, they are going to be used as aphrodisiac like rhinoceros horns and tiger penises are on use right now....

Jesus Christ!!!!
Bruno, be aware of Jan!!!!! At least meet him each time he is visiting your house with couple of sandwiches or something! Otherwise there is a risk that you hear a crunch when he is chewing your Catasetums!!!!! (Don’t worry about Cycnoches! They will be untouched!).

Don't worry Gena... Bruno is well aware and prepared for my madness, he never leave me alone with his Cats, their is always his wild Dingo (the name of this cancerberus is Rufi) watching me... Every time my hand get to much close to one catasetum, Rufito show me his Sharp-knife canines pointed to chew my manhood in a instant as a warning signal.

I am planing to give Rufi some sleeping pills to finally fulfill my malicious gourmet fantasies.

This sibaritism is going to kill me!!!!!!

by the way, I have to check, but I am quite sure that at least one tribe inside loddigesii distribution range had to relate this species with some phallic symbol... at last, shamanic medicine is partially "botany" and partially magic,and is a "universal" magic law that "the similar attract the similar"... so.... he he....

just talking randomly, I recalled now that some tribes uses Catasetum and Cyrtopodiums as glue... I have to try that.
