This is the Colmanara Wildcat 'Bobcat' that I bought my mum for Christmas and the flowers lasted for a month or even more. Perfect! :)

Great display! Mine has never had more than 7 flowers on a spike. Wish it produced flowers as well as yours!

Thanks Toddybear, but I can't take the credit, I bought it already in spike. If I can get it to rebloom then it will be time to party LOL. :biggrin:

Yup, indeed! I also have a Colmanara Wildcat 'Bloodshot' small plant which I am growing in hydroton in a translucent pot with the dome and drainage on the bottom as well as slits on the side.. I have it sitting in 2-5cm water so the hydroton is wicking up water.. so far so good. :)

Very nice gift - Flowers look great :D
I've also got a bobcat, It's very enjoyable to grow this orchid, give it as much light as you can - then you will see lots of flowers and spikes. Mine spends the summers outdoors only early morning sun then a shadier spot. Takes to heat very well. My bobcat will flower for about 4 months - then rest for another maybe 3 months, then reblooms again for another cycle, sending up new bulbs. I think this can be considered an everbloomer?
This is 1 orchid that will always have space of my shelves :nod:

Thanks guys, thanks Gloria for the culture tips. After it finished flowering I popped it outside, more sun and it now has a new almost 10 cm shoot/growth.

So does it bloom with each new pseudobulb like other orchids do? I hope so :banana:

I confess, I'm not a fan of multi-gender hybrids, they are 'anti-natural' for me, but this one is beautiful, the coloration is not seen in another 'Wildcat' clones
