The new multi-cd is ready. It includes Catasetum, Cattleya and Laelia:
The genus Catasetum in Brazil
Catasetum is a very interesting genus that occurs on almost every area of Brazil, but the majority of species are from the Amazon. Here, we discuss the different habitats where Catasetum plants live and picture most of the showy or recently described species that most people never saw before. Seeing the different habitats is good to give us some hints of how to cultivate these plants.
The genus Laelia in Brazil
Laelia is a genus that comprises a very large percentage of extremely showy orchids. This lecture shows most of the different species in their habitats and color forms of the most showy and varied ones. Also, there are areas shown here that don't even exist anymore due to iron ore extraction in the mountains or cutting of the forest. The habitat pictures are thus a reference for the future.
The genus Cattleya in Brazil
Cattleya includes some of the most beautiful of all orchids, and for many they are the "real" orchids. The genus is practically divided in unifoliate and bifoliate cattleyas, although this is very simplistic to say the least. Brazil has a few of the unifoliates, but is home of most bifoliates. Here, we visit many of the different habitats where the plants grow and also show several of the most outstanding forms of the species
