What time of year can I expect this Catasetum hybrid to bloom?
2 years ago I bought my first orchids from the Catasetinae, one being an SVO cross called Clowesia Rebecca Northen x Catasetum Melana Davison.
I didn't get any spikes last year, probably because the plant was still young. This year it has two very fat and happy new growths, so I would expect them to be blooming size. The question is, when is that? The Clowesia parent would be expected to bloom late winter, while Melana Davison seems to be more of a summer bloomer. What can I expect from this cross? If it's also a summer bloomer, looks like I'll have to wait another year.
