Fantastic Lycaste!
 
This is my third year growing Lycaste in my basement grow room and they are letting me know how much they love the conditions... Such a underrated genus

Ridiculously good growing!

Wow! These are really well grown!!

Where are you finding these Lycastes? I've been looking for some of the hot growing, deciduous types for a while.

Thanks Stephen!

I got half of them from SVO 2 years ago as tiny 2 bulb seedlings.

The other half I got from Ecuagenera. They have a lot available now and they are always huge and healthy (similar to their phrags). Ecuagenera Lycastes get a little confused by the hemisphere change but figure it out in the first year.

Ah, good to know! Thanks!

Those Lycaste look fantastic!!! Well done! :) I've always been tempted to try one (particularily Lycaste aromatica after getting a whiff of it at a show a decade ago), but as it's a completely unknown genus for me, I've been hesitant to buy one.

Those are nice!
Tough for me to grow them down here but I just saw Carter & Holmes have a warmth tolerant one advertised that's really pretty. Little Kitty.
