Consider some of the other Catasetinae as well - wonderful colors and patterns. Catasetum, Mormodes, Clowesia and combinations thereof. (Monnierara is one of the complex hybrid genera, Fredclarkeara is another) The Sunset Valley Orchids website has lots of photos, you can see what I mean. (It's also a great source for them... Fred Clarke has been doing a lot of hybridizing with this group. The dormant period is a good time for shipping, since the plants don't mind being unwatered in the dark and packages are small)
