Ctna. Maui Maid 'December Bride' x B. nodosa

[Royal]

Nice one Jasen. I like the "landing strip" leading deep into the throat. If I was a bug, I wouldn't be able to resist.

I have 2 Maui Maid "Christmas" Nodosas (6") for almost 2 years now and neither have bloomed. They get 6 months in Fla & 6 months in Pa. Weekly watering w 1/4 str fertilizer. What am I doing wrong??

Lovely flowers. Don't see too many Ctna crosses, sadly. Would love to own some.

Dave, I have a couple dozen crosses. I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Wow that is just beautiful. Pretty cool that it is fragrant all day and blooms year round. Nice.

So graceful. It reminds me of an unspotted Maikai with much better form. It has pretty buds too.

Very beautiful. I had the same cross with yours. But the blooms is white with yellow in the center.

Man. When I lived in the empire I collected all sorts of hybrids. I would have HAD to roust up that cross ! Fantastic.

I have never seen anything quite like it, OP!
