C. Loddiglossa 'Honey Ball' SM/JOGA

Ctmds. Darkonium 'Scalding'

(Cyc. Criminy x Cyc. Richard Brandon) Coalesced spotting may lead to future hybrids with solid colors in Cycnoches.

Bulb. Wade Hollenbach (Bulb. Laura Newton x Bulb. Manchind) A fantastic cross from Bill Thoms.

I just made this cross, (Ctsm. tenebrosum 'Boogie Man' x Ctsm. sanguineum 'ET') What impressed me is the solid dark color of the petals and sepals of the 'Boogie Man' and black lip of 'ET', they both have upright inflorescences with 15 or more flowers. After checking, this combination has not been registered yet. We will need to come up with a grex name, how about: Ctsm. Ten Guineum's...what do you think?

This unregistered hybrid (Blc. Picotee Flight x Slc. Denis Roessiger) was from the 2018 listing...Seeing it bloom I know why I kept it!

Cycd. Troublemaker 'Flat Out Excellent'

Cyc. warscewiczii 'Amazing Swan' In full sun

Cyc. warscewiczii 'Amazing Swan' This is the third year for blooming this plant, 9 flowers!

Ctsm. tenebrosum 'Boogie Man' Usually tenebrosum is the first to flower of the season, this one decided to flower again!

The Catasetum never fail to amaze us! Here is the first booom of: SVO 8125 (Ctsm. Melana Davison `Snow White’ x Ctsm. tigrinum `SVO’)
