I don't believe it was any recent import. I bought it from a grower in Texas. But I live in a northern state. I'm thinking the Catasetums can still keep their growing schedule in Texas that they keep...

I think the stiff, spiky leaves feel more like they're from the jungle than other orchids. I love the Encyclias because they look so much more wild and wiry than other, more hybridized or frilly...

Thank you. Yes, I'm lucky to have 3 major orchid growers who sell at our orchid show. I bought this plant from one of them who is a goofy old AOS Judge. Delightful guy with delightful orchids.

Why do some growths have two leaves, others only one leaf?

I'm wondering why on plants where I've noticed this such as Laelias and Cattleyas, there will be growths that only grow one leaf whereas other growths produce two leaves on the same plant?
