First blooms on C. Princesse Clementine x C. velutina

[Jeff214]

Here is the first bloom on a hybrid between C. Princesse Clementine (C. aclandiae x C. dowiana) and C. velutina. The plant is small, the p-bulbs are ~3.5" tall with ~3.5" blooms! The flower began to reflex on the second day, like velutina blooms. The fragrance is strong and outstanding. It smells like orange-flavored chocolate...!

The plant is a little finicky... with sensitive roots.
