Ctsm. Bela Vista's Sangria 'Jamie's Purple Passion' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. pileatum v.

[isurus79]

I got this division from a friend last summer and wasn't expecting a bloom this spring. Anyway, the flowers were a day or so past their prime. However, I want to show how desiccated these can get without a problem. I let this soak in water yesterday so the spag can fully rehydrate. I'll post additional pics showing the bulbs fattening back up as it happens.
