IMO, the plant pictured seems to be some form of T.laxa and not
T.fragrans. Many, if not most, trichopilias sold during the last century
have been mislabelled, most often as fragrans. I have bloomed out
thirteen plants now that were labelled as fragrans and can safely say
not one has been fragrans - yet. Fragrans is a crystalline white flower
with a yellow inner throat. John, would you be willing to send me the
pic directly so I can get a better look? I would also be very interested
in more information about this plant if you're willing
( ). The picture I'm seeing here is split and has
the bottom half overexposed.
