C. Caudabec Candy

Lovely looking blooms.
Have you had this from seedling size? If so how long before it bloomed?
I've been looking to buy one but they are quite expensive for the size being offered.

Thanks for joining us too Diane! I didn't have this from seedling size. When it first arrived --- it had flowers on it already (upon arrival). I think this one was grown from seedling size at 'Woolfe Orchids', which is where I bought this one from. I think that Woolfe Orchids doesn't sell the pinks now ----- which this one was just one of the siblings when they did sell pinks.

But ----- circulating around Australia is C. Caudabec Candy 'Burgundy' ----- which has bigger size dots, and a very nice burgundy/purply colour. That one is very nice indeed ------ the one with the 'Burgundy' cultivar name that is.

Diane - with the one circulating around Australia --- C. Caudabec Candy 'Burgundy' ----- I notice somebody on ebay (Australia) is selling juveniles for 80 dollars - in their advertised 100 mm pot, which is certainly expensive. I'm sure the same can be purchased for 20 percent of that price.
