This is Mo. Painted Desert 'SVO' HCC/AOS x Morm. lawrenceana '#1'. It has a great minty/eucalyptus scent in the mornings, especially when the sun hits it.
That is one impressive plant. Judging from the size of the palms growing around it, the orchid is about 400 ft tall. Unless the palms are in the background, in which case the orchid is still darned impressive, if not quite as large.
You really threw me with the name. I saw Mo. and assumed it meant Mormolyca, which is smaller and with less showy blooms. At least the one I had was. So I had to look it up to discover Mo. means Mormodes. Do you have other orchids too?
That's what brought me back to CPs - I was thinking of orchid pest management. The orchid collection shrank as the CP collection grew and now I'm down to 4 orchids (from close to 100). But I've also cut back on CPs and have only one Nep in the house, plus several Sarrs & VFTs sleeping under a pile of leaves outside.
