Ctsm. NEW HYBRID (Ctsm. Portagee Star 'Brian Lawson's Sunrise' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy')
The successful hybrids created by Ctsm. Portagee Star (Ctsm. pileatum x Ctsm. Black Knight) are numerous; it breeds for large, flat lips and a full overall shape. Ctsm. ivaneae is new to our collection; we were so impressed with the photos of the hybrids being produced by the Brazilians I just had to begin to work with it as well. Sourcing plants was nearly impossible, they are tightly held by a few collectors. We were able to acquire a single back bulb of 'Purple Fantasy'. Wow, were we impressed when it bloomed! This new breeding direction looks to hold much promise, we are expecting bold colors, and tightly arranged clusters of well sized flowers. Yes, the anticipation is not easy to manage.
