These popular dendrobiums are easily grown and produce stunningly beautiful specimens. Gisela Utz discusses general orchid culture in her article called "Caring for Orchids in the Greenhouse." For those without greenhouses, don't let the title scare you off. The article is chock-full of information useful to all growers. Sexual dimorphism (remarkably different male and female flowers) is rare in orchids, commonly only in the Catasetinae. Günter Gerlach discusses the sex lives of these plants in his article "The True Sex Life of Catasetum and Cycnoches and rounding out our October issue, Tim Culbertson presents a beautiful article on breeding miniature lycastes.
