I've always thought they looked a bit grotesque.
But, the previous owner of my property left a pot of tall spindle shaped PB's that bloomed shortly after we took the place over.
I didn't pay too much attention to them as I immediately recognized them as a Latouria type with the sharp pointed sepals, petals and lip, and immediately lost interest in them.
Didn't even smell them to check for a fragrance.
Well, they were in bloom for something on the order of 4 to 6 months.
I was impressed, but not before the last blossom dropped.
It's been a year since the first time I saw it and it is developing another set of buds.
This time It has my interest.
It appears to be a Den. atroviolaceum or a hybrid with a lot of it in it.
The buds are about to open.
Surprisingly, they are a show in themselves.
I'll add pics after they open.
D. atroviolaceum is supposed to be fragrant.
I'm looking forward to checking it out.
I've never been a Latouria section lover
