Bessera elegans

I should add, Karl, that the orange one that is available commercially 
makes a lot of offsets, but the other ones are much slower to do so, 
usually producing only one or two per season.  I am hoping against hope 
that the pink Bessera will produce cormlets, but time will tell.  I 
crossed the pink one with a purple one, since it's the only chance I 
have to get seed from the pink one. I have a gut feeling they will all 
turn out to be purple, but it will be a while before I know.

I plan on harvesting them next spring and donating the surplus to the BX. I love them and they're very easy to grow and flower but I'm ran out of space looooong ago.
