Flowering question

When do Fdk After Dark flower? Thanks!

Seems like a few people have posted flower pics of this cultivar within the last month. So Summer.

I have another Catesetum that has been blooming a few times this summer, and has a bunch of buds just about to open now.

Within another month or so I expect it to start dropping leaves for the winter.

Last year mine bloomed for the first time in Dec., it's leaves were turning yellow & starting to drop. No spikes yet for this year.
I believe lilfrog's bloomed later & the first time I saw 2 were at the show in Madison which is early Feb.

Thanks!

Mine bloomed late Jan-Feb. I have two now - no control - and neither is showing a spike yet. Good growth on both of them outside this summer.

I know it is off-topic, but do any of you know what vendors have Catasetum saccatum (or similar) in bloom now? Asking for a lecturer who needs them for a class in October.

rangiku -
If they're in bloom now, I doubt that they still will be in Oct.
It would also help alot if we knew where you were located as we have members all over the world.

Thanks for the reminder, goldenrose, thought I already did that. I'm in the Boston area.

No, I have not. Thanks for asking.
