Clowesetum (Cls russelliana x Ctsm. Breckenridge Onyx 'Janet')

[nancy]

Well, here's another interesting flower - I think it resembles the Clowesia parent. These flowers have taken literally two weeks to open fully. Grrr!
Morning to mid-afternoon scent: eucalyptus and anise.
Late afternoon to evening scent: peppermint.
It's kind of nice that these bloom with the foliage still on the plant - if it doesn't get shredded by the wind it is very lovely. Luckily, if your leaves are messed up, they fall off every fall, and you get another chance next year.
Enjoy - Nancy

Very nice, Nancy
Job well done!

I find it interesting that there are different scents at different times of the day! Amazing!!!

Very cool looking flowers! I love the catasetinae alliance plants.

Very nice Nancy

I didn't check, but do you think the different scents come from different parents?

In my setup sometimes it is difficult to retain the leaves without mite damage (due to the low humidity and high heat season). fortunately, new leaves always come next year.
