Clo. Leprechaun blooming
I bought this plant 3 years ago from SVO as a seedling. I did get it to bloom the first year, but it only had one flower that did not last long, and I didn't get to see it as I was in the middle of a move. This year it decided to give me this lovely spike after sulking about the move last year.
The cross is Cl. Grace Dunn 'Live Oak' x Ctsm. denticulatum SVO II, I asked Fred Clarke if the cross had a name yet since it had been a few years, and he told me it is Clo. Leprechaun.
The flowers started off with a rose scent, and are now getting more peppery with age.

I like the colour contrasts.

Very cool! And certainly not the shape I'd expect for this cross.

I had emailed Fred Clarke about it since it was quite different from the picture on his website. He said that this is what quite a lot of the plants from this cross look like.
I do like the colors too, they are striking. In the middle of the day I can smell it just walking through the dining room.
