In person it is to die for.

 

[Ron-NY]

do you think the one I have might have a lip like that :evil:

Very nice potential for future bloomings! Beautiful Chris!

 

[ChrisFL]

It is a sibling of this plant.

 

[Ron-NY]

ah,,,your request may cost you oke::evil:

 

[ChrisFL]

Keep it Ron. If it turns out better than this clone I will hunt you down.

 

[Ron-NY]

LOL, that would be a kick...I am still waiting for it to wake up

 

[ChrisFL]

In all fairness, I have seen probably 30 plants bloom from this cross, and many of them were, well, how do I put it delicately...

...at least they are all caerulea.

 

[Ron-NY]

yours turned out very nice! I will still have hope

 

[ChrisFL]

I hand picked both the one you have and this one. So far I'm 1 for 2.

 

[Ron-NY]

let's hope your 2 for 2

Very nice, Chris!

I noticed how large the buds looked compared to the size of the plant and now the lovely colour too!

How do you grow them?

 

[ChrisFL]

I grow all my catt species in pure sphag in unglazed pots, dynamite time release fertilizer sparingly applied, under artificial lighting (400 watt full spectrum metal halide). It's important to remember, I bought this one in bud.
