Default Colm Wildcatt 'Rainbow'

This plant definitely has a mind of it's own! In February, the bulbs were almost strangling each other, hard to explain and there were only two or three blooms but they were HUGE!
This is from last blooming:
Colmanara Wildcatt 'Rainbow'

This cycle, this one bloom is back to it's normal size but there's only one and it's on a very short spike...but there's a second spike which is much taller!

This guy likes to keep me guessing

I've seen several Wildcats but this one is a little different. I have one, mostly red. I like the yellow in the tips of the sepals/petals.

Neat colors on that one, Sue. I don't have a clue as to its wild growth habits. Maybe that's why it is called 'wild'cat.

Nice wildcat, The growth habbit does sound weird for sure. The one I have is mounted on a tree and is on its 3 flowering in 9 months. I think I need to get more.

Exactly what I was thinking! Weirdo or not, this one is very pretty. There sure are a lot of buds on the second spike, its going to look super nice!
