Stanhopea Heaven Scent

[Gwallogwyn]

This is one of Doug Pulleys hybrids. It is ( Love Potion 'Wow' X inodora = ruckeri ). The fragerance is similar to that of tigrina some what like a paste wax.

Pulley and Bush from the UK make the best Stanhopea crosses. I love your pudgy little guy.

So your description of the scent doesn't really match the name of the cross. Is it a heavenly paste wax??

Steve - What's so funny, look at the space from the hypochile to the epichile, it short and stubby. I stand by my original statement "I love your pudgy little guy". I'm glad that I gave you a good laugh though.

That's a fantastic hybrid. The inodora's influence for shape is really nice. I'm not a big fan of tigrina's scent (which, to my nose, is a bit overbearing), but maybe the inodora muted that a bit. Good growing!
