I am so thrilled the C. dowiana I bought a few months ago at Kawamoto has bloomed with two flowers. It is C. dowiana x self, and has a rosy glow. I read in an old thread that this cross is advertised as "apricot" colored. I have lusted after the Rosita variety, and this one is not as "rosy" as Rosita, but I'll take it! I also have a variety 'aurea' that will bloom in a few days, so it will be interesting to compare the two. These have been my most desired cats for a while, so I am so happy to have them blooming!
(The pics by phone do not do the colors justice.)
