Clowesia russelliana

[estación seca]

I have two SVO 9951, Cl. thylaciochila 'Wide Petals' x Cl. russelliana 'SVO'. I ordered one; I received another as substitution for a plant out of stock. I hope I can flower them.

Fred Clarke writes both species have "an amazing fragrance!" He writes of the hybrid "The fragrance will be delicious and the flowers will perfume your whole growing area."

Well, technically this is a true statement, as the scent will certainly amaze anyone who encounters a flowering plant. As far as the fragrance being "delicious" goes, I am going to send Fred a friendly note, introducing him to a friend of mine who's an ENT and might be able to offer Fred a chance at regaining his sense of smell.
