This baby followed me home from Lowe's the other day. It's still a baby, two growths, and four flowers. Can't seem to find anything about it with my limited search skills, but I really like the color patterns. We'll see what happens when it grows up.

Looks a lot like one of the Colmanara (or whatever its name has been changed to) Wildcat hybrids.

Nice pattern.

My Wildcat 'Carmela' looks similar. I give it med/high light, and water copiously during active growth. I like the white picotee around your petals better. Very pretty.

I'd say that's definitely a Wildcat

Hi plantaholic. I also have a Colm. Wildcat 'Bobcat', which I think is your avatar. Although the flowers are similar in shape and size, the substancen is quite different. Wildcat is heavier and waxy, while this is thinner and more delicate. The number of leaves per bulb is different too. I'm going to contact the grower to see if I can find its parantage.
