(Bella Lucia 'Bueno' x Conco-bellatulum 'Pert')

Bella Lucia is (bellatulum x Wellesleyanum), where Wellesleyanum = (concolor x godefroyae). Conco-bellatulum is just what you'd expect: (concolor x bellatulum).

So, overall, this hybrid is:

%50 bellatulum
%37.5 concolor
%12.5 godefroyae


Click through the flickr page to get large photos.

The yellow from the concolor is expressed pretty strongly in this one. And the leaves are a bit different than usual for a Brachy, I think. Almost a bit bluish, with a more open mottling.

I figured a full-plant view, from here, might be interesting—especially to those who don't grow or have much experience with many Brachypetalum. You can see here many attributes of the bellatulum parentage: short inflorescence, cuppy bloom, and a tendency to let the bloom rest on the medium. For reference, this is a 4" pot.

 
Boy, it's got the spots! :clap: Looks good to me! :clap:
Come to think of it, most of Nick's plants have been lookin' good!
 
That looks perfect. Have it judged!

Hm. I don't know—I guess I've never seen an awarded Brachy; not sure what makes a winner.

But, it's 4.5 hours to the nearest judging center, so it's not too likely to happen anytime soon!
