Here's one of my C. amethystoglossa which is in bloom now. Only six flowers, but then the plant is only reaching maturity. The potential is for at least 8-10 flowers. The perfume.... ah! the perfume!!!

Absolutely beautiful Mauro! There are only a few plants in my collection that I cannot wait for them to bloom and all my immature amethystoglossas and dowianas fall into this category! The smell is pretty fantastic. Great growing!!

PS I have to say, the color and shape of your flowers look really great. Im no judge, but I would be VERY happy with these!

I just sowed some of this seed last night. I can't wait either, but I'll have to. Good thing I can stare at this one. Very nice Mauro!

I like it very much too, Susanne !. The light background and the amount of spots have really captivated me!

Mauro it's a BEAUTY !!!!! I can't wait for my C. amethystoglossa to bloom, but it would take it about 2 years or so. It's still a seedling. Or would I have to wait even more????

For such a small plant it makes for a beautiful bouquet. I like the pastels, so much more feminine. I've said it before, but I can't over how upright your growth is without any supports. I have to tie all my cats up or else they just grow to the side or hang over.
