    Default Catasetum Dark Night

    Now is the season for this. I have 3 pots of this spiking. A cross between Ctsm expansum and Ctsm tenebrosum. It retains the dark petals of Ctsm tenebrosum hence the name Dark Night .

    Now this is something special. You will have to forgive my adjective used here, but these blooms are positively chic! A haute couturier could of not done better in designing this flower or it's colors. And now for our summer collection....................AL

    Love the color contrast between the dark burgundy and the yellow.
