Ctsm. gladiatorium X Ctsm. barbatum

[SaraJean]

It’s blooming again......
This one is from SVO that I picked up in May of this year. I can already tell it’s going to be a good little one for my ever expanding catasetum collection. This is its second time blooming for me, the first time with 8 blooms and now with 10, lasting about 4 weeks, and is still a very young plant. I just adore the funky blooms of the two species that made up this cross and this hybrid did not disappoint.

Oh wow that is really nice.
In the second pic I see a flying duck 🤣. Glad it is doing well for you. Is it scented?

Very nice!!! Now that I look at the second photo again, I do see the flying duck!

I'm getting more and more attracted by this alliance, I think I see some catasetinae in my future...

Loving the lip

Very cool! This is a great cross.

[fishmom]

Yes, beautiful, and the lip is spectacular! I love the "shaggy" catasetums.

[Regelian]

Exciting plant. Well spaced blooms. It's gonna love New Orleans Summers.

Ohhh I see the duck now too!

Very lightly scented, not really floral, maybe more like citrus? I don’t know, I’m pretty terrible at trying to name fragrances
