great plant and lovely flowers! good growing!

Awesome, Jerry! My baby tenebrosa has just started to bloom, and is quite large already. I don't have the space, but I'm going to let it go, anyway. Hope it does as well as yours!

Wow Jerry, that is one of the nicest tenebrosas I've seen. If you ever need a home for some backbulbs, let me know! What's the parentage?

Look at all those flowers! Great growing!

My "smeller" doesn't work so good, but I can't detect any fragrance. I grow it in intermediate conditions but C. tenebrosa is quite tolerant of temperature.
Oh, almost fogot, parentage id (Cinnamon Stick X Fumarina).
Thanks for all the nice comments.

Yeah, Doc. I nearly always use the net pot in anything larger than a 6 1/2" pot. Otherwise, I tend to keep the center too wet.
