Hi Bethmarie.
I have never had C. violacia... but i agree, it is stunning! I'm more an oddities person, like a good intermedia though :D Just got some intermedia alba X alba plants in stock, and some intermedia orlata "Rio" plants too, both nice variations of intermedia! But, i prefer my plant of bog standard intermedia... managed to get hold of a large specimen plant that was 30 years grown and near 50 bulbs! Though, part of the arranged deal to get the plant meant it was straight chopped in half when i got it home after 6 hours and 8 buses there and back from SE - W London! My half got divided up, kept the nicest bit which is settling in well and has 2 new growths :) But, i like Schomburgkia (ex-Schomburgkia)... of which i currently have three, Myrmecophila tibicinis (still small), Schomburgkia leuddemaniana and Schomburgkia splendida :) But, one of my favorite plants... is my Laelia fournieri! My plant is doing 8 new growths at the moment and the whole plants is a lovely crimson red from being in full sun the majority of the day :D
Hi Bud, thanks... i have a lot more knowledge now, so hopefully i can be even more informative! :)
