Last year I posted pictures of this flower and mentioned I had another that was supposed to be a different color. Some of you may even recognize it as the picture I posted in the calendar contest this year. The cross is B grandiflora x C Jungle Whimsy. Well, both opened almost at the same time and I present for your enjoyment.....

This is this year's flower of the plant posted last year.

This is the other flower that wasn't posted last year 'cause it didn't flower!

And here they are side by side

Very Very nice. I have one on a palm tree and it's in spike now. The tag reads novelty and color's can very. They have a wonderful spicy scent.

My tag says exactly the same and there is a "vendor number" at the top, 5782..... small world, isn't it. Love to see what yours looks like, so please post some pics!

I had forgot I have 2 of these, one potted and one mounted. Here's a link to the one I posted awhile back. Bc. Patricia DuQuesnay

You can see there's more green color in the pedal's and more of a solid color on the lip. The one on the palm tree is more like yours on the right of the last picture. I will try and find a photo of it.
