Mo Painted Desert x Ctsm Melana Davison Fox
I am new to these type of orchids and when I saw this at the orchid show (Sunset Valley Orchids) my mind was blown. The example they had was stunning and I dropped down the money. It was only after I got home I began to realize I may not have bought what I thought.
After much research I'm realizing I basically bough a plant propagated by seed and its a crap shoot as to what I'm going to get. I'm okay with that (hey orchids are an adventure). What I don't really understand is what this orchid is. Is it a Catasetum? I was told to grow it like one. Is it a Fredclarkia? And when does it get it's official name? How does that all work?
