Yes it does.

I think any oversight of ploidy on the SVO list is simply due to the sheer amount of work it takes to write so many descriptions. Writing those lists takes a lot of time and patience. I suspect some of the finer details may get overlooked by accident.

When does Fred usually release the Catasetum list?

Looking back at old emails (I'm a pack rat), looks like late June or early July for the Catasetinae release.

Finally got my order! East coast weather

The hybrids look pretty much as expected. The species were surprising… the aurantiaca came with buds

and the kerrii has a very promising looking sheath. The schilleriana is -tiny- , but healthy looking, it’s tickling my mounting instincts.

Very nice! I'm interested to see what the kerrii will do for you. I wasn't intrigued enough to buy one for myself, though, LOL!

I totally forgot to post mine - they only came in last week as we've had *very* consistently cold weather in CO. My plants all look great, and I'm most interested to see what the Princesse Clementine (dowiana x aclandiae) seedlings will look like when they bloom. I think the cross could be quite variable!
