Default Lc.Schilleriana - oldie but goodie!

This is Lc.Schilleriana, registered in 1891. This one is L.purpurata
v.werkhauseri x C.intermedia 'Blue Lip'. Obviously the blue got lost
somewhere which is not unusual.

I love, love, love this plant! I think I first got it in a trade a long
time ago - maybe 12 years? Should have kept records, I know, but the
choice of keeping records or watering with the little time available -
well, watering won. If the person I got it from is out there, thanks a
million!

Large, classically proportioned flowers of great substance and star
power - it has it all!

This is the best blooming I've had from it - I've never gotten more than
one flower before, but there are four - yes, four this time - and I once
more am so grateful I was able to build the GH last year!
