Ctsm. pileatum 'SVO Independence' x Ctsm. pileatum 'Dinner Plate'

SVO 11165 - 3'' pot, Blooming Size.

Notes from the breeder:

We were a bit  surprised this year by all the female Ctsm. pileatum flowers! Excited by this unusual phenomenon, we made multiple outcrosses with different cultivars of this desirable species. Both of these varieties of pileatum have been in our collection for years. 'SVO Independence' blooms reliably on the 4th of July, and 'Dinner Plate' has an impressive lip. Both produce 13-15 flowers twice a year. It's hard to believe this is the first time we have been able to cross these two fine examples of pileatum.
