Another one from my long time want list. Its size has kept me from acquiring one.

I'm pretty sure I have 2, want to trade?

It's not that big a medium sized Catt.

I need to see what my trade options are. I will look this weekend. About how tall is it?

Not too tall. Leaves about a foot, flowers a little taller.

Hi Darlene, I agree with Nick it is not all that big and is very nice. Still good after being around for many years. My guess is that the canes are about 2.5 feet long.

I was thinking it is about 2 or so feet all in. Its all in your perspective, with respect to your growing space that is. Since I grow indoors 4-5 months a year, 2.5 feet is on the large side. I just have to make sure it has a space in a south window. It is a bit larger to grow under lights. Still interested though.

Darlene , its been a long time since 1966 so I should not have taken a guess at 2.5 feet. Took a ruler down the yard and measured C. Chocolate Drop (a seedling) mature plant that i have had for ages. The pseudobulbs are 40 Centimeters tall.

So unless 'Kodama' is larger, you might just have enough space.

Beautiful colored flowers!

Bought a little seedling of the cross Pot (San Damiano x Chocolate Drop) 'Doris' at our spring show in April and can`t wait to see flowers (but it`s probably at least another year). It`s supposed to be fragrant and bloom twice a year!

The great renaming and confusion resulted in two San Damiano Hybrids in the RHS Database. Yours is number 1. and the seedling is registered as Love Triangle.

Some lovely images of the cross on the net.

Potinara has gone the way of the dodo but do not worry too much about that. Pot. is fine because most orchid nurseries still are using old genera names.
