Default Rossioglossum grande (Lindl.) Garay & G.C.Kenn.,

I am always impressed every time this Mexican huge Oncidium-like flowers appear! A well-grown plant can hold a dozen of these fantastic flowers. The column and calluses set give us the clear impression of a clown!

Absolutely gorgeous, Mauro! Really beautiful. Would love to see dozens of those on one plant.

Hey Oscarman, Paramount has them in stock. You probably already knew that, but just in case I thought I would pass it on, they also have Rossio splendens.

I just love this orchid! I saw it in one of my books and once in a while when I'm looking something up in that book I just have to take a moment to drool over the Rossioglossum. Now I have another place to drool over it! Your picture is much better, and the blooms just look so healthy!
