I can't get over how well your plants turned out.
I'm reluctant to purchased crosses without seeing the flower but all yours turned out so well. Since you were at the nursery, did you see other plants of the crosses blooming? Was there a big varation within a cross? I'm envious that you can go to THE NURSERY to buy your Catasetums.
Btw, what is the white Catasetum in the first pic on the second page?
The first and second picture are siblings. Same batch of cross. I got sad when i got lighter color so i decided to make the 1hr drive going to SVO. You can choose from small to big variations but i only live in an apartment and my rach is kinda low so i needed a small hybrids. Ill go to the Weschester Show this friday and look for specie plant. I will also go back to SVO nursery to buy some more next month to complete my collection.
@Helene the lovena is a really nice one, this turned out to be different from the batch he crosses and he reluctantly sold it to me. He gave the NOID to my girlfriend when he noticed she way eyeeing it.
That Lovena is spectacular! And the female is pretty sweet as well. I'd love to see what the male flowers look like. It looks dark, maybe a tenebrosum or Jose Abalo hybrid. Also envious of your visits... All look great. Good luck getting them to bloom in unison next year!
