Well, since we are doing Barkeria's now I thought about posting this
one. It is a Barkeria spectabilis, but with a very interesting colour. I
bought it as a semi-alba, but even the 'white' is a little pinkish so I
don't think it is correct to call it semi-alba then.

Greets, Niek

Oh yes John, I thought I had Barkeria scandens but it is Barkeria
spectabilis
that has not bloomed for me.
I must look for scandens as it is also very pretty with a much larger
lip
&
deeper mauve no?

Nice couple of Barkerias, Wendy.

I share your love for them and they do grow so easily once you
recognise that they don't like wet feet. I have a plant of Barkeria
scandens which struggled along in a pot for many years. Once I
realised that it was better mounted it has not looked back.

Thanks for sharing a few species we don't see often here in OZ.

Cheers

John

Barkeria whartonianum another species. There are several of these
that are much the same & J. Pfahl talks about the differences with
the column & the lip.
