Indeed!! But:

Including Ansellia, Cymbidium, Cyrotopdium, Eulophia Grammangis, Grammatophyllum and their Hybrids.
I don't really mind either way, I was just giving you a hard time! lol   |

Well, they DO cross with Cyms also.
Grammatophyllum × Cymbidium = Grammatocymbidium.
BUT, Stanhopeas and Gongoras DON'T cross with Catasetums yet they are lumped together here even though they aren't in the same alliance !!!

Ya, I always thought the mods set this group up as "The Weirdo Alliance." 
Just get all those oddball plants in one place! |

Must have been !!!! You'll love this then !!! As a result of the category here, as I just started delving into the Gongora genus I THOUGHT that I could cross them with all my Catasetinae !!! I collected the pollen from my first Gongora bloomer and ONLY THEN did I find out that it was a NO-GO !!!
That misinformation is actually not too funny for a newbie !!! I've been around the orchid world long enough to laugh and let it roll off, but I think all misinformation is a detriment to newbies and should be corrected !!!

I just love the camouflage design of the flowers...I searched specifically for the small and compact Gramma and found one...still a seedling but 6 inches tall alrady...I hope it blooms magnificantly just like your plant ...

Where'd you find it Bud ? What is its specie name and did it have a variety name ? Curious if you got a different one than me ! I heard there are a couple different ones.
