New Hybrid (Ctsm. Melana Davison 'Bombshell' x Ctsm. ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy')
Ctsm. Melana Davison (Ctsm. Susan Fuchs x Ctsm. denticulatum) is a landmark hybrid. Its reduced plant size and excellent flower size, shape, color, and count make it a very successful mini-Catasetum. Ctsm. ivaneae is an impressive species, with up to 40 tightly clustered flowers perfectly arranged in amazing purple colors with spots. This hybrid will be a mini-Catasetum with plants blooming in 3” pots and reaching maturity in 4” pots. Expect flowering twice per year, with tight clusters of nicely shaped flowers in dark colors. This hybrid and the others made with ivaneae represent a new frontier in Catasetum breeding at SVO.
3” pots $20
