The female flowers form on healthy larger Catasetum that have the energy required to support a seed capsule to maturity. The male flowers are generally on smaller plants. An AOS judge told me his secrect is to still feed his plants well, but he frequently divides his into small plants at the right time of the year, so he can see the more interesting male flowers and show them.
Those are gorgeous plants! If you don’t mind sharing names of nurseries with your feedback ( which ones are best), that would be helpful. Some of us can get them only online :(
Are there any other orchid topics you want me to do an in-depth video on?
Very interesting. I will research them. Thank you for posting.
I am going to do a longer video on them

That is an amazing tip!!!
Beautiful collection, if Catasetum doesn't get enough fertilizer they produce female flowers.
Oooooooh. Thank you!
