Would love to have a Ctsm saccatum too, but with 3-foot spikes and 6-inch flowers...I just can't do it.

I ended up adding a Ctsm saccatum. There's always more space somewhere...

Good, I look forward to seeing your saccatum in bloom one day.

Maybe we can all help each other with the Cycnoches cooperi? I've never grown a species from any of the Catasetinae genera and I don't want to flub it up. Any special instructions for these? Or just 'typical' Catasetum care?

Good choice! I have a Ctsm saccatum from a few years back ('SVO' x 'SVO II') that was a baby when I got it , last year it bloomed for the first time and it was spectacular.

I'm assuming that culture for Cycnoches is essentially the same as for Catasetum. (I lost one some years ago, but I have gotten a lot better at growing the group, so I'm hoping for the best...)

Great choice. Fred accidently sent me a saccatum last year and it has bloomed twice and is in my top 5 favorites out of my 50 catasetum plants. Best species on offer IMO.
