Clowesia dodsoniana

My strongest Catasetinae. Sadly, she has lost a lot of flower buds this year for an unkown reason. Still, enough buds made it to enjoy the delicious fragrance.

Galeandra baueri

A surprisingly easy grower, with slim pseudobulbs and flower spikes that will grow more flowers as soon as the previous ones fade.

Catasetum saccatum

This one is becoming one of my unexpected favourites. Stronge plant, very easy to care for, fantastic flowers, fabulous fragrance.

He is an absolute joy.

Catasetum sanguineum (= C. nasso)

First time bloomer! In line with the usual Catasetum fragrance trend, this species has a balsamic, fresh fragrance that is quite enjoyable.

Catasetum gnomus

I have no words to describe how incredible this flower looks. It is out of this world.

Catasetum gnomus

Beautiful, strong orchid! Amazing flowers!

Clowesetum Creative Copper Gold

Bought as a Clowesia Grace Dunn, it flowered to be one of its hybrids: Clowesia Grace Dunn × Catasetum tenebrosum.

I am not that bothered because I also bought a Catasetum tenebrosum that turned out to be a completely different unidentified thing, and this one brings a similar vibe (high contrast flowers).

But I am getting a little tired of buying incorrectly tagged Catasetums and paying good money for a mutt.

Clowesia dodsoniana

This orchid has always been the strongest in my collection, but this growth season she is breaking every record. Look at the size of those pseudobulbs!
