One of our aims with C. aclandiae is to breed very dark offspring. These petals are about as dark as possible.

dumb question :blushing: but does this have Chocolate Drop in its back ground? Regardless, Stunning bloom!!:bowing

The only dumb question is one that is never asked.

No. C. aclandiae is a species. Nothing else in the background. One of our breeding lines is to get really dark petals. Another line is for really nice spots ... at all times trying for very good shapes.

Beautiful, nice and dark. I'd call your attempt a success. ;)

Dark indeed! People here call it variety nigrescens. Very good!
