C. Elegans f. coerulea 'Keeper' x C. Interglossa f. coerulea 'Purple Tower' BM/JOGA

SVO 8062t

3'' pot, blooming size.

Notes from the breeder:

This Elegans (C. tigrina x L. purpurata) has impressively large flowers over 6” across. Although only a few small spots are visible, we know there are recessive spotted flower genes from tigrina in there.  This  C. Interglossa is a result of crossing the coerulea color forms of C. intermedia v. aquinii and C. amethystoglossa. Although ‘Purple Tower’ does not show the aquinii characteristic in its flowers, the trait is in its genes. These will be tall plants with large heads of light coerulea flowers and darker blue spots. We expect about 30% to have blue flared petals and blue spotted sepals. These will be *very* collectable.
