Not a slipper, but it did have a pouch!

I have a Fredclarkaria that is approaching that size!!! Might have to sell it just to save room. That said, when she blooms it is the most heavenly fragrance!

I had to thin when all my baby ctsms grew up... It's hard to get rid of such beauties

Nice! I love catasetums too.. In my environment, they are much more tolerant of sub-optimal culture than Oncidiinae..

I saw a Facebook post today of catasetums growing in situ in Malaysia... Which is terrible news considering they are not endemic... In South and Central America they grow like weeds, trees, ground, rocks, telephone poles, on the sides of people's f*<€^#& houses!

I should have that problem!

I don't want to jinx it, but I'd say it's doing its thing :rollhappy:

[AdamD]

I don't think so, mormodes and cycnoches are both manageable sized plants.

In situ? That's strange, first time I ever heard. Do you mind sharing that pic?
