Catasetum xtapiriceps Jan Phal
This plant has been found by my good friend Jan Phal on a palm tree a few years ago in his home. I received the plant last year and we did not have pictures of it since it was found. With so many different catasetums species in a few private collections, natural hybridization with local macrocarpum is very much more common now with very interesting and beatifull results. This plant is really cool and nice and I like it very much, and I cannot understand why macrocarpum is not commonly used in hybridization for the main catasetinae commercial nurseries.
