This is really intriguing! The parents are two peloric flowers, so no surprise this is also peloric, but what was unexpected was the perfectly flat lips, a characteristic I had never seen before in C. leopoldii!

This one is simply gorgeous! I really like the stardard form and color of C. leopoldii, but this perfect peloric is even better. The flat lip is really nice.

Mauro, as you know by now, I have a weakness for the odd and unusual, and this PP (perfect peloric) just blows me away. WOW!

Camille and Kim, you needed to see this in person! If not for the beauty of the flowers for their intense fragrance!

Oh, well... never stopped to count them up... let me try to remember: alba, rosada, caramel, wine, peloric, peloric light pink, peloric schoking pink, peloric alba, flamea, light xanthina (cream), yellow, type, dark (escura), planilabia, semi-alba, lisa-green, lisa-chocolate, inverted semi-alba (colored petals, almost white lip), fantasy (green and brown in the petals and light pink lip)... I guess that's it, Ronald.
