David,

I have given in this winter my C.mackenii always a bit water ....

This plants with the creme/white flowers have I ordered last year in December ....they came with buds to me ...so I have it pottet and let here in my room to see when they flowers ....after 2 weeks they start .

I was so happy that I have ordered more plants from this nursery ( other colors of C.mackenii ) ....they came in January ( also with buds ) ....but they looks very bad because it was really cold in this time ....and I suppose the parcel is frozen  :'( .....I have it pottet to save some plants -but one after one is died ( my wife has told it me before ) ....I have written two weeks later this the seller -but I wait until today for a answer  :-[ .....I will never order anything from this nursery ( a german nursery )

Hans,

Is the colour in your picture accurate?  Does it have that apricot tinge to it like it appears in the pic, or is it just the light conditions?  I ask because I have a creamy white that doesn't have that apricot shading.

I also have a mackenii type in flower at the moment, this one a beautiful pink (flowering for the first time) that I received recently.  Has a touch of peach to it, but mainly pink.  I've been wanting a pink for a while now.  Aren't the mackenii just wonderful!! 8)
