Ctsm.'Dinner Plate x 'Jumbo Green Gold'

[Subrosa]

I have to rescind my offer, at least for the time being. I didn't divide my plant, and since it's potted and new growth is well under way I don't want to mess with it at this time. It's a shame, we could have probably worked out a meeting at the SEPOS show this weekend to make the trade.

Buy lots of plants and post photos of the show, John!

That's too bad, Subrosa, I didn't notice you were in PA too! Hope you made some nice purchases. I brought the vanda and the seller gave me a refund and took the plant. Since it's in spike they can probably re-sell it soon.

I ended up buying a catasetum similar to the one I originally wanted at the show. I didn't see any interesting vandas for sale though.

I saw that Ten Shin had a bunch of C. pileatum, along with similar cross.

However, I'm confused as to why it's not green!! The photo attached to the listing I bought it from showed an extremely light green bordering on white. It was beautiful. And instead it's purple... I'm so sad!
Wondering if I should complain to the seller. I have a limited amount of space, and I don't need another dark purple orchid.

I'm sorry to say but that plant is wrongly named

Yes, I got an email from the seller about a year after I bought it that he finally discovered what the correct name was: Ctsm. Pileabrosum Green (tenebrosum ‘Ed Wise #2 ‘AM/AOS x Ctsm. pileatum ‘SVO Blood Red’). I still have it, I still don't want it.
