A few Catasetum and family...

[katrina]

First up...a pretty NoID ctsm...



Catasetum Bella Vista’s Sangria ‘Jamie’s Purple Passion’ x Ctsm denticulatum ‘SVO’ AM/AOS
It's a little darker than the pics reflect...interesting white markings.




Catasetum imperial ‘Donna’ x Ctsm Alexis Pardo
Gorgeous, large flower...opens looking more green and then fades to this pale yellow green. Smells amazing...only lasts about 10 days.



Cycnoches herrenhusanum ‘SVO’ x ‘Cindy Hill’ - not one of my favorites but cute enough. Compared to many in this family...this one is relatively small.



Catasetum (Doris Choice x Breckenridge Onyx) x (Susan Fuchs x spitzii)
This one will be going to a new home this month...not really my cup of tea. I love the fringed edges but (for my taste) there is too much solid blah and not enough of the brighter background coming through. this pic was taken w/some back lighting so it looks better than it actually is. Really nice shape though.



Many more spikes coming along and hopefully I can manage to get some pics.

Too bad you can't get an ID on the one, it is really nice. My favorite was the yellow!

Love the first Noid!!

Jeez, if you don't like that last one I'd be happy to find it a new home in mid Missouri... Lovely blooms by the way. I particularly love the BVS x denticulatum. Good growing.

I know! If there was any way to ID it...alas, there isn't. Oh well.

It's going to a fellow OS member but if they change their mind...I'll keep you in mind.



Thanks for the comment everyone!

Thanks! The noid looks like it could have schmidtianum and fimbriatum in the background...

I was thinking fimbriatum must be in there too. Whatever it is...it's really pretty, smells great and it's a very robust grower....it has 12 or 13 growths total (old and new), and it pushed out 5 or 6 spikes this year. Very robust! Oh well.
