Trichopilia fragrans
Also known as Trichopilia albida, this is quite a widespread species found
through the Caribbean from Cuba and into the countries of northern South America. ~John |

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. More trichopilia pics may be viewed at: http://www.trichopilia.com , and also on the IOSPE. Tennis the tricho nut |

Trichopilia fragrans
Tennis, rather than send directly to you, visit my posting at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/65086147@N00/1115568715/ This plant was labeled T. albida and I changed the name based on Kew monocot web site listing fragrans as the accepted name. The grower is one of our local nurserymen. Happy to provide more info if needed. Cheers John "tenman" wrote in message ...
