This is a first bloom for me - it's echniolabium x carunculatum, and
pretty much what I'd hoped for: a yellow echinoolabium, albeit a bit
smaller. Haven't detected a fragrance yet.

Nice looking bloom! What's that turn of phrase about having one's legs crossed?

Did you get that from H&R? Sunset Valley Orchids says they have a few
they've treated with colchicine.

Well, darn! Yes, I got mine from H&R last year. It will be interesting
to see if any of those treated plants are distinctly different. I wonder
if there are 4n plants, will the flowers be bigger? Redder? Or what?

Or if the colchicine 'took'. From what I understand it doesn't always work.
They are in flask anyway. You got blooms!!
