This is the ‘Kathleen Strain” of  Orpetii (Soph. coccinea x L. pumila) the flowers have excellent shape in deep red-purple colours, and they bloom in the winter and again in the spring. Cosmic Sparks (Pot. Golden Circle x Slc. Cosmic Delite) is one of our favourites for breeding candy-striped flowers due to its excellent shape and colour, it’s a free bloomer, flowering twice a year.  This pairing will produce the mini-Catt plants blooming twice a year with flowers of excellent shape in colours favouring red with daker red veins, to some with yellow flares
