THE OTHER CATS - There are CATTS & there are CATS...Let's have a look!

We love catts in the orchid hobby, because of their blooms, their fragrance... BUT there are other cats, often overlooked as cats. Why? I have no answer, HOWEVER, they are just as impressive when they bloom and they are super fragrant as well. So, in this video I am introducing you to my trio of catasetums as 2 out of 3 come out of dormancy. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. Questions about my growing method are very welcome!
