new hybrid - 'Birgit'

[monocotman]

Hi there,

a first flowering with six growths and three flowers for the hybrid Birgit - macranthos x cordigerum.
There are eight nice new resting buds for next year.
Not a big plant but a very pretty combination of the two species with the pink veining and the large laterals.
It has taken three years to raise this from a small seedling bought on ebay. It even turned out to be correctly named - not something that always happens,

Regards,

David

Gorgeous! I like thos one a lot. I can feel myself leaning towards the idea of starting a hybrid Cyp collection. Must resist; must resist! But, I bet I can't resist for long. There's some awesome hybrids out there now.

I don't know the parents or much about these but that hybrid really works well.
