Default The dwarf and The giant

if my memory serves me correctly, the pileatum is with the largest flower while the denticulatum is one with the smallest flower in the genera.
timing is a little bit off, would be better if both the spike reaches its prime at the same time. but however this is life, there are ups and downs for everyone and everything is impermanent.

I like both, but if I had to choose, it would be the dwarf.

LOL, me too. Though scent can influence my preference?

It's funny, one thing you don't really get a lot of the time on the internet is size. I never realised denticulatum was a dwarf until I was read so on Ian's blog yesterday!

They look great Ian! As always, I'm very jealous of your denticulatums! I bet if you got female flowers that a white pileatum and denticulatum would make a great cross too.
