My first Catasetum!
Fred Clark was at our OS last night to speak, and I bought his Karen Armstrong! I'm so excited! He said it looked mature enough to potentially bloom this spring! I've been wanting one from this type for a very long time now, and now I've finally got it - and was able to meet Mr. Clark!!!!!

LOL. I used to walk the dog belonging to someone called Karen Armstrong. She's definitely mature, but I doubt you'd be able to buy her. Don't know about her blooming for you.
Seriously though, congrats and looks like a nice orchid.

Brenda, he said his next showing/event was in Canada! Must have been talking about you!
Anyway, as a first time Catasetun buyer, I had so many questions and couldn't make up my mind. If he was the least bit frustrated with me, no one would have known. He genuinely took his time to answer my questions, listen to my concerns and address them. His experience doing these sorts of events shined through with great personality and professionalism! I was truly impressed by him!

Paul, you can always go to his site....the SVO official site and all the infos about his orchids are there including culture, origins, history and why he gave them those names....I agree: he is such a well rounded person
