Another disappointment - encyclia
I got this at Redlands last year. The man assured me - I made him swear
- that all the seedlings had bloomed out the same. He absolutely refused to sell me the only one then in bloom which I wanted as it was his 'display' plant. I loved the clear, bright apple green with no brown in it of the petals and the oddly pink lip that was a true light crayon pink - not lavender or purple. I got darkish brown green petals and a purple lip (it's darker and more purple than the pic shows). Of course. It's a heavy bloomer, so there will be LOTS of ugly brownish flowers. Oh yay. Enc.floribunda x cordigera, and I don't find that it's been registered (if the now horribly mislabelled, misguided and jumbled RHS site is any good any more). |
