I think I'll keep mine in the pot until it expires, then. Maybe that will stunt its growth a bit.

Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!
I have been waiting for this one to bloom since 12/2012. Kathy over at Crazy Orchid Lady used to have a prize for the best photo of the month and the prize was a gift certificate to any grower of your choice. I chose several plants from the nice folks at Marble Branch Farms, this was one Ett. Stephanie Takasaki 'Paradise'
This one got attacked by thrips it reminds me of both Ett.Don Herman and Ett. Volcano Trick..I bet they are cousins.

Does it change colors as the flowers age? Do you remember where you got it?

If I remember correctly, it doesn't change much. I got it at a show from Santa Barbara Orchid Estates.

Ursula, It was a pass along estate plant that I got years ago. They are a bit large for the shipping trade, though I did see a small one in bloom at last year's show. I also saw some that were 4' tall at a show several years ago. I'm going to have to do something with mine soon, as it's splitting it's plastic pot.

What a great show your 'backlog' caused, Carol. All lovelies.

Lindsey that 'Paradise' sure does remind me of the Volcano Trick. Neat markings.

Lovely show, Carol, especially the Raspberry Sunset. I'm just back from giving a presentation on greenhouses to yet another library. I can't wait until December when we get a month off. I have another one next Tuesday night. One good thing is that I get to promote our big orchid sale on the 14th.

Prabhi, such beautiful blooms! You have a really nice show going on at your place! Lovey dubby
Do you have perhaps a name for the first Cattleya and the Catasetum at the end?

That first Cattleya struck me as Cattleya labiata var. semi-alba. Some labiata types have lips more open apically but the semi-albas have more of a tubular lip.

Prabhi will tell us but maybe the Catasetum is a Clowesetum, Clowesii times Catasetum. Clowesias flower late in the year, typically after the leaves fall off and flowers cascade downward.
It seems to be more of a pastel orange color and if covered with fine spots, Catasetum delicatum is likely in the background. Confused

I just briefly looked by googling and it looked pretty close Urs.
