JEM Orchids catasetinae
Greetings -
This is a plant from JEM's leaving-Florida sale - first blooming for me. The label says Ctsm. fimbriatum x Ctsm. galeritum 'dark'.
It surely is mis-labeled. I think it is a Clowesia or (more likely) Clowesetum. I suspect one parent is Clo. russelliana. It is a lovely flower, clear celery color, russet spotting ranging from pale to pronounced. Morning scent of peppermint and anise; later afternoon eucalyptus.
If anybody has one like this, from JEM, please clue me in to the proper identification. I have also e-mailed Gene Monnier, but I'm not sure if his e-dress still works.
Many thanks - Nancy
p.s. this plant has 3 more inflorescences growing!
