Catasetum Orchidglade finally starting

Ctsm. Orchidglade is a primary hybrid between Ctsm. expansum and Ctsm. pileatum.  These plants are deciduous and the surest way to kill them is to water them before the new roots are a couple of inches long - this takes some discipline.  I was surprised how long this plant took to initiate root growth.  It has been sitting dormant, with no live roots and no medium for many months, but I thought it would get going in Spring.  I hope to get a strong growth this year, but would not be surprised if it didn't bloom until next year.
