Here's a C dormaniana first bloom from a 2-1/2" pot. Flower is about 2" across & it's now been in bloom for over a month

Beautiful Harry. I had no idea C dormaniana would bloom so small. How big does it eventually get?

Really neat! What a show-off that lip is compared to the petals/sepals.

On behalf of the flowers, thank you for your comments.

I guess the plants get to be about 10" -12". Getting them up to the 2" pot size seems to be slow. Then when they have a little size to them, they seem to grow much faster. Yes isurus, we have a small batch coming along.

Kansas City, Edmonton, Honolulu, Edmonton. I've been to all of your home towns ... except Kansas City.

Love the contrast between lip and petals.
