Orchid Digest for this ...

[Graehstone]

.... quarter just arrived in the mail. It was addressed to the wife and I usually never open her mail (unlike her who opens everything, "just like a wife is supposed to" she says ) but with the Orchid Digest I make an exception.
Needless to say, stunning as usual ... but what blew me away was the back picture .... just , just ... Gorgeous. I looked to see what it was but have yet to find where it is mentioned.
I also liked the last set of pictures there ... lol, seems I can't get away from that place.

Well after agonizing and sweating bullets, researching (and not asking here for fear of looking silly and stupid {not that I need any help in that department} ...) and flipping through every book we own, I was not able to come up with the proper name of the plant I mentioned.
So the wife looks over my shoulder, shakes her head, opens the magazine (smacks me up side the head with it) and points to where it says what it is ...
Cirrhopetalum Wendlandianum 'Abe'

... I knew that ... I just wanted her to feel ... useful is all honest.
