A question for all you catasetinae fans

[nancy]

Greetings -
So far, I have grown and bloomed Catasetum, Cycnoches, and (I guess they are) intergeneric hybrids (Clowesetum, Cycnodes, that kind of 'stuff'). I've read that the addition of Clowesia to the Catasetum, aside from generating perfect flowers (HAH!!!) is to give greater longevity to the flowers.
Arguments about 'perfection' aside, I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's experiences with flower lifespans. My own experience has been pretty much 5-6-7 days for anything with Catasetum in its geneaology, and a few days longer if it has Mormodes.
Who has had a really, really long-lasting flower, and what was it?
All things taken into consideration, a week of Catasetum flowers is a pretty heady experience. Beats stanhopea.
I will not add anything to my lustlist, I will not add anything....
Cheers - Nancy
