Catasetum planiceps
Catasetum planiceps Lindl., Edwards's Bot. Reg. 29: t. 9 (1843).
This species is from northern Brasil, Venezuela and near countries.
It is a Ctsm that grows on top of leaves, on rocks. Fortunatelly it adapts easily to culture in common pots.
It really likes a dry autumn/winter rest and wet spring/summer and it usually blooms in summer.

You would love this one, it has such a wonderful smell... lemon with spices 
I believe this genus is a great addition to people that likes fragrant orchids.  |

That one is great, I have the clone 'Mikabi'
I'm expecting the first bloom in the next winter/spring.
By the way, that grex now is Clowesia (some Catasetum were moved), if you want to be up to date 
I have some photos of the Clowesia Grace Dunn ‘Chadds Ford' AM/AOS , similar but more white. Let me see... |

Yes, I completely understand! Sometimes I feel like it is best to wait 10 years or so
That (name changing) is not so important as having the right ID. I try to change what seems right, whatever that may be... |
