    Constantia cristinae. A wonderful Brazilian species. The flowers are about 3/8" wide. I am aware that the images are slightly out of focus, but wanted to show this anyway.

    Yes, that's a typo. Maybe Jon or Forrest can fix the title.

    I'm glad all of you like it as much as I do. Of the three Constantia species I've bloomed, this is the most colorful. Unfortunately this is the only clone I have, so I can't do an outcross, but I know that Constantia rupestris will hold a selfing, I just don't know yet if it will be viable.

    I was really pressed for time when it was in bloom and forgot to check.
