striata

It’s purpurata season as seen in recent posts! I have my blue striata in bloom, up to 5 flowers on one spike. Very commanding height and stature. NS 15.5 cm. Also grown by DavidB. The coerulea variety is named the Werkhauseri, though it’s more appropriate as a horticultural variety.

A rebel! Blooming out of season from a new growth. Supposed to be warneri and gaskelliana season lol (a few in bud here). Luckily it will throw a new growth for fall (another growth is developing on the other side also), making two growths with blooms then. Only one bud but huge at 17 cm...

This the the best flowering it has done since the five years I’ve had the plant. Flowers are bigger and fuller then before, about 16 cm natural spread. And the presentation is the most ideal this time. Way to brighten up the cold Toronto weather!
