What exactly is considered a large cane though? This is a wild orchid collected in Jamaica.

Then its probably just B. subulifolia which is native to Jamaica.  |

I am pretty sure it is cordata / subulifolia, a species endemic to Jamaica. I grow two clones of cordata and two of nodosa. I do not have Little Stars though. But not nodosa for sure.

All I'm reading is that they are synonymous and that it is even called a form of nodosa as well as cordata. Lol oh well. |

I've never heard or read that and they really are quite different. Where did you see that?

Subulifolia is synonymous with cordata, but not with nodosa. |

To me it doesn't really matter at this point; I love the blooms.
Prob cordata or subulifolio; doesn't matter. |

I see what you mean. Ya, it was originally labeled as a subspecies of nodosa but is now its own species.
Anyway, you are lucky to be able to grow this one on a tree! Any plans for more Catts on that palm?  |

Well I had a few large flower catts in mind, I already have a specimen size broughtonia n a sanguinea. The thing is it would have to be a catt that can take direct morning and a bit of afternoon direct sun with a mix of dappled & direct mid day sun at certain times of year. Any suggestions!?

I know that the Schombos (now Myrmecophilia and Laelia) and many Encyclia can take those conditions and are native to the Caribbean. |

Good point. I like laelias a lot too. Encyclias, not a fan. Can you give me some names of laelias/schoms? |
