C violacea - Awards & AQ
Lots of C. violaceas are blooming now. They bloom now, in summer & sometimes in the fall, depending on how often they initiate new canes.
The first photo shows a cluster of assorted colors from one cross. About half of the plants were blooming at that time. The rest opened a few days later, but there were too many to photograph meaningfully in a group.
The other photos show closeups of individual flowers. We sent in a group of plants & received 2 AM/AOS awards & an AQ (award of quality) for the cross. My friend in Japan made the cross & was credited as the hybridizer. We grew the plants from flasks, bloomed them & received credit as the growers.
