catasetum pileatum
 

Hi Friends,
Here is the image of my pileatum collected from teritorio Amazonos in1993.
It is robust plant almost immune to any diseases,at times it would produce 12 to16 flowers.

I agree with everyone else's comments, Veekay. Those blooms are stunning. How's the perfume--sweet or medicinal?

Hi Bruno De Toni,
I was in venezuela in 1993 and bought this plant from a friend was, told it was from an area between Columbia and Venezuela and I spent a week, hiking till the foot hills of Andes.

Veekay,
that sounds more like the south of the Apure State in the Llanos of Venezuela. That would make sense, as it is a typical region for white Ctsm. pileatum.
