Mormodes sp (most probably cartonii)

[kavanaru]

Early this year, I have bought 3 plants of "Mormodes revolutum". Two of them bloomed and have been confirmed as Mormodes andicola

Now, the third plant is in bloom and confirmed what I had already suspected: it is a different species... flowers are about 50% larger, the segments are completelly different and the fragarnce is also different. In the case of this plant, very fruity, while the two other are kind of strong chemical parfurm, however not disgusting.

I am almost sure this is Mormodes cartonii, but am still waiting for confirmation.

enjoy!
