Galeandra schunkii
This is a newly imported plant, and I was VERY surprised to see it growing a spike.. the plant is still very small...

I received two plants from Vitorino P Castro (one of the two authors who described the species) and both bloomed without fragrance... I was surprised as I had Galeandras in Venezuela and they all were fragrant (not always nice, but fragrant!)... Also my Galeandra minax, that I received from Vitorino at the same time bloomed without any fragrance.... Maybe a result of plants blooming just after being imported or any oth kind of stress... I think I must wait for a second bloom and check again.... |

Hi Ramon,
Do you have plants from Vitorino Castro, what a pleasure, and treasure. You should treat them like a princess should be treated.
About the fragrance issue maybe its a stress caused by the transport as you said, or diferent growing conditions.
One thing Ive notice, mine and yours bloom in the same period, but you re in france I guess, and I'm living in Brazil, here its winter and in France its almost summer, Im confused. They bloom several times a year?
