This particular plant loves to bloom a few months late!! Most of the anosmums here on the island seem to bloom in March, but this guy goes around May, for some reason. Since the tag says that one of the parents is var. huttonii (a white flower with red throat spots), I think that it might have been rhodoptergium, rather than anosmum. That would account for the late bloom, as well the p-bulbs that are WAY to fat to be anosmum, IMO. Who knows......anyway, thanks for looking!! Oh and the smell is OUTSTANDING!!
Also, for some reason, this years flowers seem to lighter in color than last year and actually have a green tint to some of the petals, as can be seen in the third pic. Any thought? I really do like purple over green, so any ideas as to why would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dend anosmum
Sorry, I know it must suck to have a burning hair smelling 'chid when its supposed to smell like raspberries, but that is pretty funny!! I wonder why it smells like that?? My Nestor smells like any other ansomum!! Wierd.
Oh dear! I'm sorry Frank!
