Catasetum Dagny sib variations

[AvantGardner]

Ok, I know it's been a while, login issues followed by frustration, then more login issues, finally figured it out today. So, without further adieu, here's some sibs that bloomed last spring/summer-


'Rockbiter'


'Bastian'


'Artax'




'Fantascia'


The only unbloomed (and unnamed) sib I own. The p-bulb is 7 1/2 inches in circumference (bigger around than my wrist).

Oh, and the first cultivar has been named 'Moonchild.' Does anyone know the theme?

That's it for now! Thanks for looking

that third photo with that ginormous bulb is amazing.....and such a small pot too. Interesting.
Hope your updates are a never-ending story.

Love the gene pool added by the pileatum imperiale! The flowers have great shape and colorations! Love the clone 'fantascia'!!!!

Wow! This is some great stuff!

Thanks guys. I love the Neverending Story theme. My wife picked it out. They are headed for a winter rest now, I was hoping for more blooms this year, but I'm glad they're saving energy for next year. For now, I have a little bit of pollen and an awarded Mo. Leopard Drops division just starting to open it's first flowers :-) Wish me luck.

As I am actually waiting for Ctsm. seedpods to ripe, I know how long the way is until in the end you see the traits of your crosses and feel the pride of a father.

Bummer these pics were lost. Oh well, here’s two in bloom now

[fishmom]

These must be the same cross as the older pictures, right? The shape of the bloom, with its crisp, pointed lip, is very attractive. Are they this season's bloom?

[AvantGardner]

Yes, both taken yesterday. Just a few days too early for judging Saturday...

I still love this one!!
