Chrysocycnis schlimii - extremely rare Stanhopea relative
I was with Ron Parsons when we visited Petite Plaisance in Sonoma County. He
about peed himself when he saw this guy in flower. Very VERY rare in cultivation. -- Enjoy! -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org |

Chrysocycnis schlimii - extremely rare Stanhopea relative
Supposedly these grow way tall and have a huge rhizome space between
pseudobulbs. Did the plant look like that? I read that (argh) the fellow who lived in Venezuela had these growing on trees in his yard and he had to take a ladder to see the blooms at the tips. It would be just like orchids to have this not be true in real life. The bloom should be less than an inch big? Yes? No? K Barrett "Eric Hunt" wrote in message ...

Kathy,
Yup - long rhizome space - flower about an inch to two inches - on a gangly plant that was about 2 feet tall. -Eric K Barrett wrote: Supposedly these grow way tall and have a huge rhizome space between pseudobulbs. Did the plant look like that? I read that (argh) the fellow |

Thanks Eric, Dunsterville's plant had about a foot between p/bulbs and was
about 10-15 fet tall. He'd top it and then start over. I wonder if that's what Jim did.
