Everyone should have at least one of the Catasetanae. REALLY...I think they're beginners plants once the resting period is understood and observed.

This one is so easy to grow. After blooming, it will lose leaves and go dormant--just for a couple of weeks, until new growth comes along. This was given to me as a tiny rootless backbulb three years ago and I was afraid of killing it. (New blooming growth is about 15" tall). Little did I know that it would be an easy grower. Blooms are VERY thick and waxy...and smell like an a drug store cherry soda.

Oh! These plants seem to love my oriental Cymbidium pots...
