Catasetum pileatum and Psichopsis... No doubts about that... the dilemma: which one of the 3 (hopefully they will be more in the future) pileatums????

not yet I have so far 'Oro Verde' , a new red spotted Clon (should be opening two buds in one or two weeks... pics coming), and a new white clon. I already found where to get an Imperialis here in Switzerland (and no matter what people and specialists says, Imperialis will stay for ever as pileatum in my heart memories on Dr. Couret) BTW, Dr. Couret also found a yellow pileatum in Venezuela, which I have never ever seen again.. it was very deep yellow, almost orange (like those egg yolks from chickens with too much carotenes in their diet) I would love to have that one too. It was SUPERB!

I have a pileatum but it's the more common cream colored one...still lovely but not

If I ever see this one...it comes home with me

Your Oro Verde is gorgeous!

well, this is closer to the very first one and the one I would die for: Google-Ergebnis für http://www.pineridgeorchids.com/Ctsm%20pileatum%20var%20imperiale%20'Danny'.JPG but oki, I would be happy with one like the one on the second picture in this link Google-Ergebnis für http://www.detuingids.be/images/artikels/3352-2.jpg

the spotted one I have should be something like this: Google-Ergebnis für http://www.orchideennet.de/Orchideen/eigene/311201.jpg

and my Oro Verde... yes, I love it This year it even pleased me with 3 spikes, what reall surprised me because the normal is to have only two (as it did last year)... I only hope it keeps on this trend

To kill for it


unfortunatelly, Catasetum ist not very popular here and therefore quite difficult to get those great ones... you normally get the standards, and importing them to europe is quite expensive/complicated sometimes...

Are you saying I have to stand there and decide which 2 orchids I want to take with me while the town is being destroyed. I would probably grab my Pot. Hoku Gem 'Freckles' and ummm I don't kn....GET IN THE CAR!!!

Sorry but I would have to save my beloved Moorcroft pottery. Orchids can easily be replaced! ps my lads live at either end of the uk so I would trust them to save themselves and OH would have to fend for himself!
