Second time flowering for this plant.
The bud opening is much like malipoense. It looks pretty dry and dead and the whole process is painfully slow, but it keeps on developing.
It looks much better than last time, though, when one third of the dorsal was dry and white.
This time it is all the way green and doesn't look as bad.
Plus the petals show clear tessellation and darker than last year.
The best part is the improved fragrance.
It was barely scented a few weeks after the flower opened fully.
This one, still not even half way open, is already emitting some strong raspberry scent. It literally smells like when you open a jar of raspberry jam, well, with less sugar. lol
can't wait for fully open bloom!
