Clowesia Rebecca Northen ‘Pink Grapefruit’

It’s in bloom with five spikes this year! Last year I got two spikes, which had been the most. I have had it for five years or so, and it has been growing well in s/h for about the past four. Not the best background...;)

Beautiful. Mine only has two measly spikes.

What a beautiful display it's putting on for you! I have a soft spot for pink flowers.

Gorgeous! This is one of my all time favorites

Better than mine. I have no signs of spiking this year on any of my Clowesias and I am usually seeing something by now:( I changed my fertilizer regime on about half of my catesetums and had terrible results as far as growth and blooms (or lack there of) go

It's gorgeous.

Thank you all for the compliments.

Awesome! I wish I could smell it!

It's lovely. I have success with other catasetums, but my only Clowesia, a Northen hybrid, has done nothing for me for years, with tiny bulbs and no spikes. I'm thinking of SH this year in a last effort before pitching it.

That is really awesome!

Did you write to Fred Clarke and ask for advice?
