Clowesia Rebecca Northen ‘Pink Grapefruit’
It’s in bloom with five spikes this year! Last year I got two spikes, which had been the most. I have had it for five years or so, and it has been growing well in s/h for about the past four. Not the best background...

What a beautiful display it's putting on for you! I have a soft spot for pink flowers.

Better than mine. I have no signs of spiking this year on any of my Clowesias and I am usually seeing something by now  I changed my fertilizer regime on about half of my catesetums and had terrible results as far as growth and blooms (or lack there of) go |

It's lovely. I have success with other catasetums, but my only Clowesia, a Northen hybrid, has done nothing for me for years, with tiny bulbs and no spikes. I'm thinking of SH this year in a last effort before pitching it.
