Hi Mariana,
I have no idea, but had to say "wow!" Plus we will keep this at the top until someone will recognize what it is.

Hi Mariana. You do indeed have a chlorochilon. The plant I have that I thought was one has now been confirmed to be a warscewiczii. Apparently these have been confused for years. I'll repost mine for comparison. Loddigessi is, of course, a totaly different color.

Gorgeous, gorgeous! You both have such beautiful specimens! I have only a cycnodes and it didn't bloom this past year. New growth though, so maybe there'll be hope for this year. It also needs repotting.

Hi kim, I agree with you too, because the color is similar but not the shape. Its great when we identified what we have.
