What is tetzlaffianum exactly? It appears not to be recognized, but JP, don't forget my division....

 

[Ray]

Described by Olaf Gruss in 2000. Kew has it as "x tetzlaffianum" indicating it is a natural hybrid, but W3Tropicos and IPNI suggest it to be a species.

Nice one J-P! Hope ours turn out as well.

Hi Tom, I hope and wish yours turned out as well too! It is a desirable cross!

Stunning. Hope I get as nice when mine blooms.
