for me, it's a great plant.. it grows near the house of my parent and was the orchid I started with in my addiction since I was a child... I have a white form here (not yet bloomed as imported last year as a plain PB) and 'Oro Verde'.. I continue looking for a mottled one and for "Imperialis"... and any other form I could get in Europe (unfortuneatelly, Catasetinae don't seem to be very popular here )

Picking one favorite is like a mother chosing one from her many children .. I just can't do it

Cattleya walkeriana will do it for me!

All Angraecoids...hmm...just a couple of them

I won a gold ribbon for best hybrid at my local Orchid Society meeting with this plant last month.
Here are quick pics I just took of these four favorites:

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but can you give me any and all details on the culture you have used for your Ascps. Irene Dobkin? I believe mine were going downhill when I purchased them, but I think I am resolving it. However, I want to learn any and everything I can from those who have been successful growing this gem! Lighting, potting media, watering routine (how dry do you let it get?), fertilizing routine, anything else pertinent? And anybody else want to chime in on this?!
