Default Largest Catasetum pseudobulb?
I was at the New York Orchid Show two years back and saw a plant with HUGE pseudobulbs which was in leaf when flowering, pink flowers I believe.

The bulbs were 6-7"+ tall, and 4-5" wide.

I believe it was a Catasetum.

Do any species create bulbs that large? If so, which?

Thank you.

Ken

Dear Ken,

Some get that large. Certainly that is the size range of Catasetum discolor, a terrestrial species from northern South America.

Hope that helps, Eric

I have several in excess of 6"-8" in height, but 4"-5" wide? Circumference, maybe...
