First bloom! C. amethystoglossa
It’s been a while since I posted and I hope everyone is doing well. I purchased this from H&R back in late 2017 as a tiny 3” tall seedling with basically zero growing experience under my belt when it came to Catts. I knew this was a tall and somewhat fussy species, so I figured it would be many, many years till I got some blooms. Lo an behold I got a flower this year on a 10” growth. Only one flower (which I promptly damaged as soon as I pulled it out of the greenhouse) but it’s huge and has a beautiful shape. Especially considering that it’s a first bloom on an immature plant. If I had the space I would get a dozen of these.
It’s crawling out of its 4” clay pot so I plan on just tossing the whole thing in a basket this year with some chunky bark rather than attempting to dislodge it from its pot.
