One of the most intriguing features of the Catasetum Frilly Doris is its seasonal shedding of leaves just before blooming, a natural process that precedes the emergence of its stunning flowers. Prepare to be enchanted by its variable blooms, each presenting a delightful array of cream hues adorned with intricate burgundy spotting and freckles. The maroon and yellow patterns, coupled with the "frilly" lip, add an extra touch of allure to these 3-inch fragrant blossoms.
While its flowers undoubtedly steal the spotlight, the Catasetum Frilly Doris also boasts impressive foliage. Its leathery, strap-like leaves provide a striking backdrop to the vibrant blooms, showcasing a verdant canvas of lush greenery.
For those nurturing this remarkable species, heed these cultivation tips to ensure its thriving growth. Catasetum Frilly Doris thrives in warmer climates, reveling in the embrace of balmy temperatures. During the active growing season, generously water your plant as it forms new leaves, providing ample moisture to support healthy development. However, as the pseudobulbs mature, gradually reduce watering to mimic its natural habitat's seasonal fluctuations.
