This is a hybrid of Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise. This cultivar is one of two seedlings I got about 10 years ago from Patrick O’Day. It is a remake of the cross using the same parents used in the original crossing by Fred Clarke.

Very nice. What is your media and do you follow the Fred Clarke rule about keeping the plant dry (no watering) during the dormant period?
The plant is in a five inch plastic pot with New Zealand sphagnum moss as my media. There is also some styrofoam peanuts in the pot to provide some drainage. During the dormant season I cut back on the watering and fertilizing. I keep the media slightly moist, but do not allow it to go completely dry. My Catasetinae are grown in a covered greenhouse, so they are out of the rain.
The colors are popping and the flowers looks amazing!
