C. leopoldii
(C. leopoldii 'SVO' 4N x C. leopoldii 'SVO Dark Blood' 4n)
It has been a couple years since we have listed a tetraploid strain of leopoldii. These are very nice. Flower size, color, and substance is amazing. This is one of my favorite species. They require some skill to grow well and take a while to mature. Important growing tip: Repotting is done during or right after flowering. Why is this important? It's when new roots start growing, reestablishing the plant quickly after disturbing them.

(C. mossiae v. reineckeana 'Crothers' x self)
Semi-alba mossiae is VERY collectable! This strain of semi-alba or v. reineckeana is a very beautiful color form and is a rarity in collections these days. It originated from the breeding of the late Rita and Herb Crothers who had been breeding this flower color form for generations. The Crothers were good friends of the late Norito Hasegawa and Norito shared some of their last flasks of this strain with me. At this time, I believe SVO has the only plants from the select 'Crothers' strain. This is an amazing opportunity to acquire these unique plants for your collection.

What about 'Joyce Weaver'? I won it at an auction in Florida. The flowers were outstanding. Some of the best I have seen. At the start of the auction, I quickly bid $100 thinking this was a good move. Then someone bid $200! Ouch! I ended up paying $350 for 'Joyce Weaver'. This is a great pairing.
