Lc. Irene Finney ' Springs Best' AM/AOS; 1964 (Lc. Bruno Alberts x Catt. J.A. Carbone)

I post this every springtime as it is such a reliable and easy bloomer. Very robust with long aerial roots. If you’re looking for a reliable spring bloomer I highly recommend this one. I purchased from Hausserman’s a decade ago; they ship healthy plants at reasonable prices.

I had one shipped from Hausermann's to my mother in southern California a few years back for Mother's Day. It arrived with 11 buds about to open on a huge, multi-growth plant.

Wow! That must have really made her day! Or month, even! They last around 3 weeks I have noticed. Hausserman’s is so generous with their plant sizes especially when you’re buying the mature stock.

PP - That is gorgeous. I have 2 Lc. Irene Finney ' Springs Best' seedlings. Can't wait for blooms. . . . probably in 2 (or more) years

ROBB, good to hear. I purchased at 3.5” seedling size and it seemed like they would never bloom. Once yours gets to blooming size, it reward you every year. Multiple leads too. They are eager growers. I look forward to you posting your blooms on here in the near future!
