So, i've tried looking for pictures of the bloom of this little guy... Rodriguezia batemani "especiosa"


Anyone seen a pic of it? it was collected from the jungle back when it was legal its very slow growing but i'm anxious to see it spike. I believe its about to in a couple of months here...

However I have not been able to find anyinfo on this Orchid..

Rodriguezia batemanii from Jay Pfahl's site. There isn't a pic of the cultivar "Especiosa". Going on my "want list".

Thanks, i saw that one, but I don't know if its the same, i guess i'll have to wait and see..

I did find it under the species list on an encyclopedia but no picture.. it showed as especiosa but still.. no pic.. sad.

If it blooms be sure to let us know if it's fragrant!

When I looked it up in OrchidWiz I found Rodriguezia batemani var speciosa. No specific picture thought. Could that be what you are looking for?

I believe so Carrie, but like you said, I have not been able to find a picture. so I guess it will be a surprise bloom Thanks to everyone trying to find it, I will post a picture once i get it to bloom

Doesn't "especiosa" mean "species" in Spanish? So it might not be a varietal name at all?

might be, but in spanish Species is Especies ... might just be the Latin. so you might be right
