The greenhouse is doing a good job so far!

a very quick shot of this plant, currently blooming in my greenhouse... two flowers, showing in different directions... very bad quality shot, I know, but.... here it is anyway:

Lc. Chian-Tzy Ostelove: First time bloomer... Very strong cinnamon fragrance... I hope in the future it produces more flowers per spike (it should go up to 5 or 6 flowers!)

Ctsm. rivularium: First time bloomer... plant and flowers really look like those of other Ctsm. rivularium I have seen in photos, but the labellum described and shown in the book "The World of Catasetum by Holst" is different... This is a very compact Catasetum with a very nice spicy fragrance!
