Talk about timing !!! I was hoping to take this one to judging but nada ! When I got back yesterday I checked and ONE bloom had opened !!!! It was playing hide and seek with me !!!!! That was the closest to a plant giving me a raspberry that I've ever known !!!! :rofl:

Anyhow, 2 spikes with 21 & 23 buds/blooms ! They are male flowers !

That's a cute little flower! Is the scent on this pretty nice?

None detected, but I'll check again. It's only the second day opened. I'm going to be sure and get pollinia from this one !

21 and 23 blooms, way to go!!!

since you posted this, how do we differentiate between
ctsm longifolim
ctsm discolor/ciliatum
ctsm roseo?

I don't know, Ian, but if RHS is the final authority they say roseo-album is a natural hybrid between discolor and longifolium. From the pix I've seen I think they're right because mine is similar to both but not the same as either. They don't show anything for Ctsm. roseo, and it says ciliatum is also a natural hybrid but neglects to say between what ! That's a FIRST for RHS in all the times I've searched there !

No links, just what I searched on RHS !

Here's updated pix of rosie ! The last 3 pix are of the older spike. You can tell because they crossed their legs ! :rofl:
