Cherie is a real eye catcher, random patterns of cherry colours on a white background grace a cascading raceme carrying 14 blooms, Add the famous or is it infamous awarded ‘Bee Ess’, texture like cardboard, shape virtually perfect.

2831 *S. MAGENTA X hartmannii ‘BEE ESS’ HCC/AOC -ANOS

Thank you to our Victorian Friends in Francis & Eric Wilde to whom we gave flowers off ‘BEE ESS’ with pollen, and they placed it on a piece of Neville Ropers handiwork in Magenta, which is Fairy Scarlet x Fitzhart. a big flower and more pink & red than white. They are growing like mini Vanda’s, ‘BEE ESS’ is at it again. We are hoping for more colours and of course the ‘BEE ESS’ influence, which is so obvious in the plants’ growth. 2 COMPOTS @ $38.00 EACH PLUS 50mm TUBES Sold Out
