$50.00 $35.00 Save $15.00

This is a nice cross that resembles a large bulbosa but with silvery scurf on the leaves and inflorescence. The overall shape is that of bulbosa; bulbous base with somewhat twisted, terete leaves and a scape with spreading branches. One parent, Showtime, is a cross of bulbosa x streptophylla, but there is little influence of the streptophylla parent in this cross, save maybe for the silvery scurf. The inflorescence is pink due to the trichomes. A robust, easy grower.
