Catasetum Hypatia, first ctsm to bloom for the new growing season

The first wave of catasetums are beginning to start the blooming show for 2026! This one is called ctsm Hypatia, Catasetum Double Down x Catasetum Fonseca Alfaro. There is a fragrance of minty toothpaste. The flowers remind me of mini bats with a yellow belly, lol. Does anyone else have this one in their collection and if it's blooming for you?

Enjoy the show and more updates to come.

My favorite catasetum is in bloom, ctsm. Joseito's Backlit Phoenix 'Sunset's Glow'

My most prize catasetum is putting on a great show for the start of the growing season. 19 flowers in total with a fragrance of minty cream sickle. Its parents are ctsm Portagee Star 'Brian Lawson's Sunrise' HCC x ctsm ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy'. The lip on this reminds me of a beach sunset scene. I'm looking forward to taking this judging, if the stars align, lol. Does anyone else have this cross?

Enjoy the show!

Done repotting my catasetinae

50 or so (only 40 in the picture) catasetinae repotted for the year. Glad that chore is done.
