    Default Catasetum ID

    Picked this guy up at the farmers market. Tag only said Catasetum species. Very fragrant. Any ideas what he might be?

    No idea on the identification, but it is really a cool orchid!

    I would say it rather looks like Catasetum kleberianum but with a different colour pattern.

    It does look like a fimbriatum but the ones I have seen are of much lighter colour.
