Catsetum saccatum

Catasetum saccatum is one plant that I received from PeruFlora last year. The plants I received were huge and I’m very happy with the color on this first bloom!

P.S. The flowers smell like mint toothpaste!

Very nice color and patterning.

Thanks! I'm surprised by how large the flowers are compared to the plant. Great species.

Very nice, the blooms look huge- the frilly lip is outstanding.

That's an amazing bloom, very unusual shape and beautiful lip. Great job on bringing these blooms out.

Congratulations! I love weird flowers.

Very cool and unusual bloom.
