Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'
I've just recieved a Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink' and it has
a small flower spike on it. How do I make sure it blooms? Anything special it needs like fertiliser or special lighting? Shell |

Well the tag says 'Pink Fragrance' not 'Grapefruit Pink' like the order
said. It has 9 buds that are about 3mm across for the largest ones. Shell "Shell" wrote in message . com...

Shell,
When my catasetums display a spike, I take them inside and place in a sunny window. A drastic temperature difference may cause bud drop. Normal range is usually 60 to 80 for most catasetums. I would not apply a fertilizer right now and would assume that the place from which you received the plant did so to get it to spike. .. . .

Thanks It's in a nice warm bright spot on my plant table in my dining
room I grow inside since I don't go outside much (not with snakes in the yard) Shell "profpam" wrote in message ...

Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'
I'm in Houston Texas with a creek right behind my house I've seen big
snakes, little snakes, black, brown, pinkish, bright green, pea green, and what I think was a garter snake (it was going up a tree) I stay inside unless I know its too cold for the critters Shell "Wendy" wrote in message news:Jn_Eb.9815$7D3.1048@fed1read02...

Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'
Hi, Shell,
We have snakes out here in Calimesa, CA too. Once I started to pick-up what I thought was a thin rope -- bad eyesight and no lens that day -- when suddenly I screamed and my boys came to my rescue. I, too, am terrified of snakes. In addition, I once stuck my hand into a golf flag hole to pull out my pink Flying Lady when I found a snake in there with one of the same colors. Oh, they are terrifying critters! .. . .

Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'
A friend of mine when I was a kid was racing another girl to pick up the
"brown piece of paper" in their yard. Turned out to be a rattle snake which bit her when she picked it up. Naturally no parents were home. Fortunately her little brother as quick enough to call an ambulance which got there in just minutes. We were on the base at the Air Force Academy so we had better than usual response times Shell "profpam" wrote in message ... Hi, Shell, We have snakes out here in Calimesa, CA too.
