Cleisocentron gokusingii (approximately 25 seedlings per flask). I have several crosses of this species that I am growing simultaneously and will be shipping the best flask of the different crosses at the time of the order.

The Species: There is much confusion in the trade over this species. It was introduced in sales as Cleisocentron merillianum and was known that way for some years. More recently it has been understood that this is properly Cleisocentron gokusingii. Either way, this is an interesting and rewarding species. It blooms several times per year, is adaptable to a number of temperatures and has clusters of lovely bluish flowers. It grows in Sabah, Borneo at elevations about 6000 ft as an epiphyte. The flowers are a bit over 1/2". The images are of two plants from my collection. The intensity of the flower on any given clone will vary from one blooming to another. I'm not sure if it is the temperature or the intensity of light.

Culture: I grow this potted, usually in medium or fine bark, but it can be grown mounted. It can be grown in intermediate or cool conditions. I give it moderately bright light and water year round with dilute fertilizer.

Cleisocentron gokusingii: These images are representative of the species. They are 3 different clones from my collection.
