Where do you get catasetums?

[Grim Tuesday]

Catasetums seem to have become very popular this year. SVO is all sold out until July. What are some other good sources?

[Roberta]

Get on the SVO email list, when they do a release in July, the mailing list gets first pick before they're posted on the website. Only a bit over a month away... and you'll get pick of the litter. Some will even be in spike, they'll be in active growth. Well worth the wait. Last year the "drop" was July 11. So expect it about the same time this year.

I just bought some really well grown plants at catasetinae.com

Out of the 6 plants I tried to get, 3 sold out within 5 minutes.

SVO catasetum division list (on their website) has a few new plants

There will be a lot more when Fred does the release of new plants. And email-list people get a link to them a week or so before the link is active on the website.

Grim-

Fred is speaking up here in New England next month.
I suspect he'll take preorders from a list he'll send us ahead of time.

C'mon up. The black flies will be gone and the mosquitos shouldn't be too bad.

if you think finding them is the states is tough, try living in europe! they're rare as hens teeth round these parts. but the situation is improving. hope you got some more orchids tho!

NHOS on 7/8 in Bedford. Topic "becoming 80% grower"

MOS in Winchester, MA on 7/11 Topic "recent trends"

Thought you'd know about Amherst. Nothing on Amherst website but they meet on 12th and it would be unusual for him to only hit those first 2 while he's in the area. Maybe call him.

Becoming an 80% grower is a great lecture
