Catasetum Dagny sibs 2015

[AdamD]

Whew! What a year for this group! An award out of the bunch thanks to good timing and persistence. Done by clonal name. Here we go!

Moonchild- 3/28- 12 flowers- The one that allowed me to name the hybrid (thanks to Fred Clarke)





Bastian- 4/10- 11 flowers- Nice smoky color





Rockbiter- 4/12- 11 flowers- gives many divisions





Artax AM/AOS- 5/1- 16 flowers- My first AOS award!!! This pic is of the second spike, I didn't get a pic of the first one before sending it on it's treacherous journey, unfortunately





Fantastica- 5/4- 9 flowers- The best of the clones in my opinion. The runt of the bunch, hopefully this year it will catch up. Color on first pic is true





Falkor- 5/14- 19 flowers- The beast! First blooming for this plant. Over 4' (1.3m+/-) from leaf tip to last flower





Until next year...

Thanks everyone!

Can I have a division of Falkor please

Incidentally I do have a division of this, but it is on it's way to Fred Clarke... I'll keep you in mind for the next one.

Wow! Interesting variation from the same batch.. I wonder if the inheritance of colour in catasetum is understood.. I love the 'Fantastica' and 'Falkor' clones..

 

[AdamD]

I believe color inheritance is insanely variable with this group. I doubt it has been mapped or traced. Form seems to be a crap-shoot as well. Both follow general guidelines, but the parameters are wide. Interesting, because I don't believe you see this much variation among it's cousins (clowesia, cycnoches), with mormodes being an exception. Much color variation, but form is fairly consistent in my eyes.
