    I do like these waxy flowered, multi-flowered catts, and the spotty effect here makes it nicely different. These probably come from C.aclandiae in the background, , which is notionaly 1/3rd of the bloodline, but another 1/3rd is C.guttata, and I have seen that species with a lot of spots too. Has been grown in S/H for a year now, which probably saved the blooms when the greenhouse got too hot for plant life recently, and the leaves on the older canes are a rather faded whitish green as a result. But the leading cane is OK ,so hopefully a new growth will follow flowering to set it on the right road again.
