Goodness gracious, man - how large does this plant get, and how long does it take to get that size? Another amazing one. Whitecat8

Your collection is awesome!

WC8--the plant is mixed with the clowesia's so the bulb should be short and fat, this plant is just a baby (short and skinny) so hopefully by next year I'll see better growth out of it--marci thank's for the kind words--over 20 years of focus on this genera

Clara

I love these but have never tried one. Thanks for posting :)

Mark - What I meant to say - because I'm trying not to get any monster plants, how large does this plant get, or how much room does it demand, and how long does it take it to mature? If it's a slow grower, that's better than if it's "vigorous." Thanks, WC8

Mark, Is there Rebecca Northen is it's parentage? Or do they share a common parent? Do delicate and dainty looking with the pale pink!

great job!
Carolyn

Carolyn-you are becoming an expert--- one of the parents of RN is in this plant Wars x rosea= RN (I think)
Wars X Maria Helena= midas touch

[grin]

NICE! You've got some great plants, Mark!

thanks Paul---WC8--when I think of monster plants I think of plants like onc. spaculatum, grammatophylum---I don't think of ctsm's like that---BUT--that being said anything that is a clowesia should be more of a compact grower, short and fat when well grown, big leaves during the growing season, then pop, the leaves drop off and all you got is a short fat bulb--just right for bringing into the house for the winter and keeping it very much like any other bulb---but I would talk to the other northerners as to how to winter them
Mark

Mark, Thanks for the info on size. Last winter, the first I had Ctsm & Cyc, all of them made it except a tiny one and one the cats got. So - I can grow them here! Just the best.

Do you have a Web site w/ pix of some/all of your plants? The site would drive me nuts and eventually help me decide on a couple to get.

Lovely yellow in the lip! Hope my dreams are in technicolour! LOL!

I just adore this plant. All of your Catasetum's are beautiful. Do you get these from a particular vendor? Thanks for posting all the wonderful pictures. I really enjoyed looking at (coveting) them!!!

WC8: I post them on photobucket. Fosterlowell I got most of my plants from jem orchids--he worked out of palm beach and was close to me, but he moved to Hawaii, so now I suggest suset orchids
