Wow!! Please tell me that you are going to have flasks available soon!?!?

Will be in Brazil in Feb but after seeing this picture I wish it was Columbia.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. The darker one looks like a mini (green) cyp reginae

Nice group. All you need is blooming andeetae and I'd have to take a trip!

 

[eteson]

Tyler, Brazil and Colombia are close... even sharing border!

Cnycharles, yes it is surprising... it is also similar to delenatii... not only in shape and color but also the scent! Is Cyp reginae scented? Never saw one in person...

Eric andreettae is always blooming here... but i am losting inteterest in it... petals twist as propellers the substance of the flowes is weak... hope some of the 4N turned to be better to start breeding for shape and substance...
I was using andreettae to get some whites but now I am using mostly anguloi because it has much better shape, substance... an it is compact.

Wow! I am very jealous!

The one in the left is anguloi, manzurii in the center and a typical schlimii to the right.

You really ought to publish that photo somewhere, Eliseo.

 

[The Mutant]

I'll have the anguloi then, thank you.

I'd take one of each Eliseo:clap:

Very nice manzurii, I like them both! Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting to see those species side by side!

I love the family shot. They are wonderful!

 

[SlipperFan]

I wish.

Dot, we know you only go 1st Class!

I wish!

Very nice pictures! I especially like the "family shot" to see the differences between the species! Can't wait to see the results of your crosses, and flasks of these rare species when they are available!

To answer your Cyp. reginae question, I have them growing in my yard (and they are native here to Minnesota and our State Flower), so I can answer your question, yes they are scented! A very light sweet scent. Below is a picture of one of my clumps in bloom. Notice it has a little fly on the rim of one of the petals, and a little solitary bee that I captured in flight in the lower right corner, which either one of them may be one of it's natural pollinators.

Thanks a lot Robert,
What a nice picture of this wonderful species... Then it seems to be a nice example of convergent evolutulion...

Amazing nature!
