Den Blue Bees
This was registered as (Den. lasianthera x Den. Blue Twinkle).
In 2018, there was a plant up for a silent auction at Deep Cut OS. It was (Den. Blue Twinkle x Den. lasianthera). I was interested, but concerned about how tall it might grow, so I asked our speaker (a certain Mr. Alan Koch). His answer: 'It will stay short'.
Obviously I did not know, that Den. lasianthera can grow canes up to 10' tall!
It is currently in bloom (of course, in between judging dates), with approx. 22 spikes, most on the two larger canes, which are 44" & 48" respectively.
