Cycnoches Mass Confusion

The hybrid name, Mass Confusion, comes from the two species parents which look and smell almost identically! Cross them together and you get mass confusion. Unlike most orchids which have asexual flowers, this genus will produce one or the other. Male flowers are smaller with higher flower count, whereas female flowers are larger with an average of one to three flowers emerging on a young spike (sometimes more when the plants are specimen size. Higher light tends to produce female flowers, but sometimes the same conditions can produce either sex flower.

A lovely hybrid with cascading colorful yellow and green flowers that have the sweet scent of banana popsicle!
