Bought this plant at a yard sale a couple of years ago, it spiked in the coldest part of this past winter so we dragged it in and out as the temps rose and fell, I thought sure it would blast all of the buds but it didn't. It is also the most unphotogenic plant, I finally brought out the green velvet but it still isn't the best pic for a pretty plant. Col Sphacetante "Evelyn" X Onc Illustre"Wildman"
Thanks for looking.

Hey Molly, I think it is plenty photogenic. It sure has a lot of nice sprays on it. I think I want one!

I agree with Derek! Its fantastically photogenic! I'd be proud of it.

Is it weird that it's not the blooms that caught my attention first but the size and roots of the plant?

I'm just a sucker for specimen, that's all....LOL

hi Molly i too have this plant and for me it flowers at Xmas time.This cross loves the heat and feed and water when growing,it also has a habit of multi spiking . I have also used it in a couple of crosses and have in the last 5 months received flasks of the crosses. By the way this cross has been registered and is now called Onc Pacific Space Lustre.The crosses that I have done are Onc Pacific Space Lustre x Wils Carol Easton and Onc Pacific Space Lustre x Issakau Nagatu 'Volcano Queen'

here is the flower of mine
