This is one of my all time favorite orchid species. My little seedling has to put on quite a bit more weight before she blooms though :snore:

I didn't think to smell it . Looks like it should smell like lemon

Nice yellow!

Love that plant. Its as reliable as a sunset, and as hardy as a rock.

Now called Prosthechea citrina.

According to The International Orchid Register, it's considered a natural hybrid. It doesn't mention the possible parents.

A beautiful plant and easy to flower and grow.

One of my favorites too!! I don't believe its a hybrid though. Who the hell said that?????????????

I tried to import some of these to Australia, but they died with the methyl bromide. I will try some again next year

There were two different plants of this species at the show, and one was pulled for judging. It was the larger of the two plants that were exhibited side by side. These have a marvelous citrus fragrance and heavy substance.

I've always wanted one of these... Great picture!
