Default Catasetum cernuum var. albinum

This species is found in the southeast region of Brazil and its regular flowers are spotted of dark purple. It is common also to find it almost solid maroon. This is an albino variety easy to grow and flower. I grow it hanging in a very bright place.

My goodness, that is one interresting orchid. Some sort of divine maddness going on, with the buds hanging down, roots shooting up, and all the shades of green and white. You've done it again, Mauro! Great plant!

Mauro, that's very cool!
Do you have the purple-flowered one too?

Susanne, I have grown it years ago already, but now I don't have it.
