You are a font of information. Thank you so much! I was not aware that they do not routinely produce female flowers. Glad to know male flowers are more likely. I look forward to seeing all your Catasetinae ;) blooming next season. Hopefully I might have one to share as well.

Welcome from Wa. I think you will have no problem improving your growing with all the information on this forum.

The duck is absolutely fantastic!

I have been smitten by your initial photos, esp. the cooperi and the hybrid with 'Diana's Dots,' and the Clowesia in this thread: https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/clowesia-rebecca-northen.52473/ I now own a mini-collection of 5 Catasetum and can't stop dreaming about adding to it. Right now...

The yellow is so pale and icy. I think it is quite nice. And I like the wavy petal margins.

Welcome from Tacoma. I utterly failed to enter my user profile correctly and it took me almost 9 months to realize it. So you are already way ahead of me.😅

Welcome from the cold, wet, dark PNW. I am a new grower this year and trying to figure out S/H. I am also transitioning my plants to grow lights in a basement. I'll look forward to hearing more about your experience with paphs in S/H and under lights.

She looks like quite a character. It is amazing what an important role pets play in our lives and our emotional attachment to them. You must have had a horrible six hours. I am so glad your story had a good ending. I was fearing the worst as I read. Happy holidays and may you have lots of...

Quite beautiful. I like how the red under the leaves makes the veining standout and also the shape of the pouch. I have a Lynleigh Koopowitz with malpoense 'Victoria' HCC/AOS as a parent and it is my favorite plant in my admittedly small and new collection.

And judging by the picture it looks like you excel on the other end of the spectrum as well.

So sweet. Love the color and the waxiness.

I am not a phrag person but I think this is lovely, esp. the contrast between the creamy yellow and the pink on the pouch. And I like the shape of the pouch margin, very elegant.

How exciting. It is beautiful. The blooms look huge.

Stolons, thank you. I was having a hard time coming up with the words.

That is beautiful. What size pot is it in, if I may ask? I have shied away from growing one because I understand the roots need lots of room to "sucker".

Your plants are wonderful. Knowing that you achieve these results as a windowsill grower is quite inspiring. Moreover, your photos are spectacular. I am so impressed with how the flowers still stand out with the white background.

Me too. I like it a lot, especially the deeper color on the petals.

What a lovely yellow! Can't wait to see it a little more open.

Yikes, 350 plants. Yeah, I don't need that much meditation. 😂 But I do need more paphs. 👍

Awww, good news! Funny, I hate watering my outside pots in the summer. But watering my orchids over the kitchen sink is like meditation. I want to do it way more than they want me to do it. 😂
