C walkeriana 'Sakura Snowball' x flamea 'Divina'
 
1 Attachment(s)
This plant is from my cross: C. walkeriana v semi-alba 'Sakura Snowball' x fma. flamea 'Divina'.

'Sakura Snowball' is an offspring of 'Puanani' x 'H&R'. ' 'Sakura Snowball' is very large, 5" (13cm), with an excellent overall shape, very large wide dark lip & very thick substance.

'Divina' is a division of a natural plant. It is a nice star-shaped tipo, with a very strong flame on the tips of its petals. The offspring of this cross have all been very good, many well-rounded pinks, some with darkened edges of petals from the 'Divina' parent. A few have been large star-shaped flowers with flameas. And very few have been like this posted photo.

Notice the nice "shizuku" (water drop shape) formed by the overlapping petals.
