    Smile Colmonara Massai Splash

    Hi folks

    This fall is looking to be a good one for me; my colmonara is the first to bloom and has a second spike coming I believe. Plus I have a phal spike on the way and two catts (one of which was nearly dead a few months ago) with sheaths coming. Very exciting since these are all first earn bloom plants for me.

    Here is the Colm.

    Congrats!

    Think that's the first Col. I've seen without yellow on it. Is it .... pungent?

    Wow...I love the coloring on that one! So different. Makes me anxious for the Miltassia out front to bloom. Does it have smell??

    Nope, no smell. Around here there seem to be a lot in the "Massai" range, all red, for sale. Though often under the name Cambria, which was apparently made up for whatever reason.
