Catasetinae getting active
I'm seeing lots of spikes, and some blooming action.
Catasetum Penang can be quite variable in color, depending on exactly which plants are used as parents. This one is quite fragrant. It is Ctsm. Susan Fuchis (3 generations removed from species, Ctsm. pileatum and Ctsm. expansum) crossed back to Ctsm. pileatum.
Catasetum Dragon's Teeth x Catasetum fimbriatum = Catasetum J and R Solar (yes, that's the name) When I looked it up in Orchidwiz, there were several examples with photos that were green... Mine is deep red. The difference? Mine was made with Ctsm. fimbriatum var. morrenianum, which is dark red while the typical one is mostly green. It's so dark that it is hard to photograph...so here are several attempts.
