Did you get the Mestizos? Just looked it up and saw one looks really cool.
I currently have 3 (probably spelt wrong):
Cycnodes Wine Delight (seems very easy to me! Gave me a single flower last year when it should have been too young)
Catasetum interreginum: growing well. Hoping it will flower this year.
Catasetum galeritum: having a bit of trouble with it. I think it's out of the cycle I've been trying to grow it on and I'll just have to accept it wants to grow during my winter for now! Still it currently has 3 growths, if small ones!
I recently decided that wasn't enough and got involved in an online auction... seller had a load, many of them 'lost tag' plants. I got a great plant early on for a fair price, especially if it turns out to be something cool. Unfortunately I really needed to get something else to make the postage worth it and the prices started going a bit nuts! Late on I managed to pick up a plant listed as 'Wendling', probably because if you look that up nothing much comes up. But I managed to work out it's actually primary 'Wendlingeri'. Confirmed when I noticed the picture actually did show a tag on which 'pileatum x planiceps' could be made out. Most probably will have pretty dull flowers, but it made the postage worthwile!
Fingers crossed 'lost tag no 1' turns out to be something I actually want!
