Anguloa x ruckeri

[tuvoc]

I've had this plant for several years, but never paid much attention to it. It gets stuffed into whatever spot it will fit, so I was surprised and thrilled to see a spike alongside the new growth. Since it started opening at least three weeks ago, I'm assuming this is a far as it's going to go. The fragrance is not strong, but very exotic and pleasant, sort of soft gardenia with a hint of lilac and spice.
