Catasetum conundrums

Hello fellow Catasetum fans, I've become totally enamored with this genus. I grow in the cold Midwest and live in the woods (not much natural light) so I grow entirely under lights with humidity...

Ctsm. denticulatum 'Dark Spots' x Ctsm. Frilly Doris 'SVO Yellowest'

I absolutely adore this mini!!

It might still open more, yesterday it wasn't open enough to photograph, today it is mostly open and I was too excited to wait another day to share.

I haven't heard of a specific name yet, but I'm sure it's been bloomed before - my growing situation is not going to compete with people who have greenhouses and live in sunnier climates!

Pot. Oconee Circle 'SVO' x Pot. Elaine Taylor 'Krull-Smith' FCC/AOS

This is such a fantastic color in person, I'm not sure it's entirely conveyed in pictures (vibrantly fuchsia!). Hybrid from Sunset Valley Orchids.

Cold Growers Unite!

Before I cause any confusion: I don't mean growing cool-loving orchids... I mean... We live in cold places!

Snowy, cold places where we fight to keep up the humidity in the winter. Do you think...

I think this one must be a born over-performer to bloom for the first time like this. Thanks for the name help. The whole plant is 15" tall from the bottom of the pot to the top of the flowers.

I tried to smell it, but I didn't notice any fragrance. It is in a big tropical greenhouse, though, I bet I could smell it if I had my own! :)

Looking at other pictures available online, I'm starting to wonder if the cultivar is correct. The tag at Phipps does say "Chadds Ford" (I took a picture of it too.) But according to Awarded Clowesia...

Blc. Bouton D'or 'Lewis' x L. Seagulls 'SVO'

I picked this hybrid up from Sunset Valley only a few months ago and it is blooming like mad! There are three blooms on this stalk, 3 more in bud and I can see the shadow of (probably 3) more in a...

Phragmipedium Andean Fire 'Sol Fenick' AM/AOS

I'm normally not a "lady-slipper" kind of gal (honestly, it's just because they hate me), but I saw this at the Pittsburgh Botanical Gardens (Phipps) and had to snap a picture!

Well, I didn't do anything, just let the timer (hence how it is always dark when I get home!) do it's thing. Hopefully no harm done!

Well, sure. But the leaves of the original growth are still on, and I have been watering and fertilizing (I was considering stopping 1/1, but won't now.)

Growth vs. spike for this Mormodia....?

I grow under lights, so I suspect this plant could just be confused as to the date. I don't plan to force into winter rest, so it may just continue growing around the season. I guess it might be a...
