Hi Guy's,
Here is the image of my c.lueddemanniana 'cerulea' X sib cross.
This is the fourth seedling, it is in full bloom for the past three days and it has lovely smell of vanila-cinnamon mix(early morning)
I bought two of these plants i 1994 from v'zuela,took me around ten years.I had seven seedlings lost two.

Even if lueddemanniana have many and many good shaped wild collected cultivars, Mariauxi is for sure the best of those plants.
