What on earth is this thing?
I bought some orchids on ebay. The grower also sent me this extra
plant (an orchid?) But I don't know what it is. When it come it was all grey as shown in the photo, but I watered it anyway and it has grew a kind of green shoot that looks like maybe a new psudo bulb? I don't know. Anyone have a CLUE what this thing is? It's about 3 in high (with the pot.) PHOTO: http://www.futurebird.com/orchids/images/mystryplay.jpg |

Could it be a catasetum?

I love those extra plants- kind of like a Christmas present. Be careful to
quarantine and treat for pests "Boystrup Pb, ann,..." wrote in message e... Could it be a catasetum? Looks like some of those I got from a mentor Cheers PB "Susan Murray" schreef in bericht om...

Note the old inflorescences coming directly out of the pseudobulbs. Or at least it looks that way to me. Regardless, the culture is the same whether catasetum or calanthe. Phalaenopsis light would be sufficient, and water and feed it well when it is growing. Now is probably a good time to repot. At some point the leaves will start to yellow, stop watering it at that time and for the duration of its dormancy (ok, give it a sprinkle a few times a month maybe, if you get worried). Pretty easy plants. Rob |

Could it be a catasetum? Looks like some of those I got from a mentor Cheers PB Maybe... I found an image of a catasetum and the bulbs do look the same. Thanks for the tip. At least now I can start trying to find out how to take care of it. -Susan http://www.parksideorchids.com/image...20pileatum.jpg "Susan Murray" schreef in bericht om... I bought some orchids on ebay.
