Gorgeous, Tom! Excellence never gets old.

Well done. I find C. violacea particularly difficult.

Exciting! What size? What is your natural temperature range and what is your “plan”?

Demetria has a long-petalled parent (caudatum). For me, those a bit harder to bloom. They like a bit more light than some other phrags. Good luck!

Oh ya baby! I love that pouch. I have teeny, tiny ones coming up but, based on your experience, gonna be awhile. Cheers!

Eric must be a deep thinker . . .

Your baby Roths look good, but if you want “explosive growth”, you might try phrags.🤣

Looking good!
