That’s a wonderful display Sheryl.
Do you treat it like a normal Catasetum or Cychnoches in winter, ie without any water until the new roots are sufficiently long sometimes in spring?

Thank you Arne! Honestly I leave them in the pot until spring, water very sparingly in the winter then when the new growth starts I divide very gently and repot. Each older bulb generally produces 1 or 2 new ones. The repotting gives me the opportunity to straighten the plants so that the new bulbs grow upright instead of sideways�� I remember Jack from this forum removes them completely from the pot in the winter and keeps them on the shaded back porch, no water until new growth in the spring. And sorry it's an orange of course not gold. Can't edit the title
