I was very excited to see my rare albinistic form of a species finally about to bloom; less so when I saw how dark the buds were emerging. I do recall where I got this one, but she has died, so there's no getting back to her on this one now. It has turned out to be a very nice Mt.Toro, though I don't have room for it, as with a small greenhouse I only have room for the things I really love.

I want to click "like" for the flower but "angry" for the annoyment of waiting all this time for the wrong plant to flower.
At least it is pretty.

I find the plant beautifull! What albininistic species were you expecting?
Roebbelinii aureum x self, got it from Christine Chowning 15 or more years ago; not entirely a surprise, given her unpleasant character.
wow that's really rough to hear 15 years only to find the plant isn't what you expected. makes me wonder how many "oops wrong plant" i have in my small collection. echoing what @TyroneGenade said, at the very least it's pretty.
I do appreciate a nice Mt. Toro but understand the high level of frustration you must feel expecting something completely different.
it's a nice MT but stinks you were expecting something else. phil/roeb alba is however pretty readily available these days...
