Very nice color! Love nobilior! I have a var amaliae in bloom and my coerulea is in bud. Good growing!
BTW - The fragrance usually takes a few days to develop.

Nice. Why is it that walkeriana is common but not nobilior?

Great question! The only nobilior breeder here in the US is H&R, so I think its a matter of access.
Even most walkeriana sold here in the US is not the true species, but is a mix of walkeriana x loddigesii (think "walkeriana" clones like 'Kenny' or 'Pendentive'). H&R also has an amazing selection of true walkeriana. |

I'm not sure, i think Steve gave a wonderfull explanation for your country. Overhere it is also harder to get then a walkeriana, maybe it just not so popular as the walkeriana's? 😁 |

I can only take partial credit for the amaliae because I bought it in bud but I'll get some pics and post. It's a really nice one and...btw...it came from H&R.
The coerulea one...we'll have to wait awhile for that one to be open. W/this one, I can take full credit for it because I bought it from Francisco Miranda more than a year ago. It was a division snipped off the end of one of his plants. To be perfectly frank, I'm more than thrilled with it because I really didn't expect blooms this year. Happy surprise!
Anyway...yea, I'll get some pics later today/tomorrow. |
