THE COLLECTION
The Rare Leaf Pink Cuprea was secured from a well-known collector with premier plants as a corm early 2025. Due to a shipping delay, the corm was stuck in freezing temperatures for three days. Since then, the Cuprea not only grew to maturation quickly, but produced roughly ten viable corms. These corms have made their way into other collections, and I have selected a few to become mother plants in my own collection. Keep an eye out for those in the coming months!
