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

Default Cycnoches warcswiczii

Hello -
I have this one as well, and it really is spectacular! My flowers (I have had both male and female bloomings) are very much greener than yours appear in the photo.
The scent will almost knock you down: a combo of banana, moth balls, acetone and maybe a bit of cat spray (but it works).
Enjoy - Nancy
