Less than Phals!!!!!! OMG. I can't believe it.

Frederico,

That is indeed beautiful! It seems like it has more influence that just color and shape from its C. dowiana background...with its need for more moisture and less light.

Congrats to you, and thanks for sharing with us. .

I guess you are right! Searching RHS I found that Lc Amber Glow contains more than 75% of C. dowiana! And dowiana (today C aurea) is a very, very demanding plant! Even primary hybrids with C dowiana (C Hardyana and Lc Luminosa), with 'only' 50% of dowiana, are much easier to grow than Lc Amber Glow! Thanks for the 'insight'!
