Default BC. Cynthia "lilac gem"

Got this from a local nursery in a pot a few years ago, I mounted it and this is first blooming, great smell, like the C. walkerana parent.

Nice. I bought a Cynthia this Spring. I can't wait for it to bloom. I thought it would have had more of a frilly lip.

This is pretty typical form for Rlc. Cynthia, and a lovely representative of the cross. An old favorite I always love to see. Very common to resemble the C. walkeriana parent with almost no trace of the frilly lip and green color of Rl. digbyana.
