Fantastic Lycaste!
This is my third year growing Lycaste in my basement grow room and they are letting me know how much they love the conditions... Such a underrated genus

Wow! These are really well grown!!
Where are you finding these Lycastes? I've been looking for some of the hot growing, deciduous types for a while.

Thanks Stephen!
I got half of them from SVO 2 years ago as tiny 2 bulb seedlings.
The other half I got from Ecuagenera. They have a lot available now and they are always huge and healthy (similar to their phrags). Ecuagenera Lycastes get a little confused by the hemisphere change but figure it out in the first year. |

Those Lycaste look fantastic!!! Well done!  I've always been tempted to try one (particularily Lycaste aromatica after getting a whiff of it at a show a decade ago), but as it's a completely unknown genus for me, I've been hesitant to buy one.

I treat them exactly like catasetum but with a little less fertilizer I only grow the deciduous types though. I love my aromatica, smells exactly like "Big Red" chewing gum. Not as floriferous as these hybrids though.

That's a great cross, I'm going to pick one up at that price

Lyc Brevispatha x braedeorum is blooming now. 47 Flowers and buds. Each flower is lightly fragrant but all 47 at once is pretty powerful.
