Catasetum go dormant every year and look dead. They are not dead and will begin to grow again in a couple of months. If the newest bulb is hard, the plant is healthy. After they grow a new bulb, they will leaf out flower and then lose all the leaves. The sub-family Clowesetum is known for flower longevity and high flower count. These are seedling crosses and may vary in color in flowers. Only 2 left subject to prior sale.
