    Default Catasetum Rebecca Northern

    This species was one of the first orchids I ever bought and I wasn't experienced enough to grow it. Needless to say I lost it shortly there after. So, I acquired another one last fall after a lot of research and it rewarded me with three spikes of blossoms! They have such a powerful, grapefruit smell that fills my kitchen. Thanks to my friend Rachel for taking the photo!

    Ohh it is very cute! I would like to have one of these. What made it so difficult to care for?

    It's not really that tough to grow. I didn't realize that it needs a dormant period. So I watered during the fall and winter months not knowing it should stay dry.
