C. Hsinying Pub 'Albo Sanginea' first bloom
Hsinying Pub 'Albo Sanguinea' (C. Batagesi x C. purpurata). I got this as a freebie 1 1/2 years ago from Clouds as a medium seedling. So I wasn't really expecting a bloom yet as its a fairly small plant. But this bloom popped up. Last night as it was opening it looked like quite the ugly little duckling. And it did have a damaged spot on the lower sepal which caused it to be kinked. But this morning it was a rather elegant looking bloom, aside from the damaged spot. It already has a faint floral scent. It looks a lot like the purpurata parent I think. The bloom is a good 4.5 inches and the photo doesn't do its shape justice. All in all I am pleased and can see some potential for the next blooming.

Very curious how the second flush of flowers will look like, but it already looks great, does it also have the growpower of a purpurata?

Thanks! It is very elegant looking which doesn't show completely in the photo. When I got it as a freebie, I saw it online and thought, uh, it's OK, but I wouldn't order it. I have changed my mind!

It isn't really robust at the moment but roots are good, so hopefully it will take off this summer. |
