I bought this Catasetum csm Dentagranum x Ctsm Portagee Star ' Brian Lawson' from Sunset Valley Orchids at our local show. It was just two dry pseudobulbs when i bought it in February. It's been opening over the past 2 days.

Wow! I purchased a Dentigrianum hybrid from SVO, and this is exactly what I was hoping it would bloom like. Unfortunately, it was very very muted and you can barely see the colors 😔.

It looks lovely with the arching stem full of flowers!

Well I don’t know exactly what I did other than water somewhat haphazardly and fertilize. I’m an indoor grower and I use LED lights on a stand in front of a south facing window.
