This Motte Spot (C. Cognac x C. Fort Motte) is a mutation found in a batch of clones; it has wider segments and heavier substance than the original. Blc. Durigan (Blc. Waianae Leopard x C. Corcovado), popularised by Brazilian growers, has proven to be a vigorous grower and good bloomer. Its 5-6 large flowers are boldly spotted and well presented.  With this hybrid, we’re combining two different breeding lines, which should deliver vigorous plant growth. Expect sturdy stems of 5-7 densely spotted flowers with contrasting red lips during the heat of summer, right when we all need a splash of colour.
