Colmanara Catatante X Oda Susan P. Richards

I'm no fan of Catatante's color but here it is completely masked and the plant is strong with a branched inflorescence.

I think it will be the branched inflorescence which makes this one fly. The flower itself looks pretty ordinary to me.

Colmanara x Catatante is a strange beast - when it dominates in its offspring the results often are mediocre, but when it just stays in the background its positive sides are imprinted onto the next generation - ease of flowering, branched inflorescences, and subtly enhanced, velvety colours. And of course it’s warmth-tolerance is ver valuable as well. So when working with Colmanara x Catatante you have to be patient, and prepared for surprises - and if you’re lucky you hit the jackpot !
