Looks just what I would image a concolor x exul hybrid to look like...

I have one, it's not easy.

I have one, it's not easy.

You mean, to grow?

I think it's a cool flower.

I meant concolor x druryi not exul... I really shouldn't reply until I have my morning coffee...

OK looking plant. But prefer the shape of the "normal" concolor.

I'd like to get a nice one of these to go with my regular concolors but they seem to be pretty uncommon in the US.

I really like this form. I'd love to have it in my collection if I can ever find one.

I'm a self-confessed clumper but this one seems so distinct that it must be close to being considered a species in its own right.

I got mine from Bloomfield at the NCOS. The normal concolor is in spike but the longipetalum is struggling.

Sounds like somebody needs to breed some vigor into the ones in the US? My regular concolors are both very good growers too.

I bought one as a seedling last fall at the CNYOS show near Syracuse. It's growing...I can't wait for a bloom.
