Ctsm. tigrinum blooms
 

I got this lovely little plant from SVO as part of a birthday present from my wonderful hubby last year. I have only had it for one growing season, and it decided to give me these lovely blooms.
I figured this one was a while from blooming as the bulbs are tiny, like only three inches tall, and only the diameter of maybe a nickel.
I am a bit late posting this, as it bloomed in mid-December.

Very nice.

Very cool! If only mine would bloom...

A delicate beauty.

That's a beauty! Coincidentally, Fred Clarke gave a talk at our orchid society meeting today (Ann Arbor, MI) and I definitely remember seeing that one in the slide show. :)

That is a treat, to be able to hear Fred talk. He came to our OS last year; I think he was one of the best presenters we've had.

I've seen him speak several times on several topics and he really is an excellent lecturer!

Beautiful blooms!

Thank you all.
I put my plants outside on a wooden shelf that gets morning sun, and is shaded by my garage in the afternoon from around May to October-ish and water almost daily unless it rains. I fertilize when i think about it. I am on a deep well, so I think they get some minerals from that at least. I have almost all of the Catasetinae in sphag moss. I have one in a mix of bark and moss since it came in straight small bark that needed to be changed. I am going to put it in straight moss this spring since it grew pretty well, but really shriveled fast if it got slightly dry.

I would love to see Fred Clarke speak, I know the local society has had him come before, but I just can't get to meetings since I moved out to the boonies!

Very cute! Compactness is also REALLY nice.
