Four species

December 11, 2005

Every week I think that I will not have much to show in another week,
but there are always surprises. This week four species. Flowering should
be really good next year, it is cooler than usual in Caracas (16 C last night), if its
lasts a while, blooming should be spectacular next year.

Two Cattleya Gaskellianas (Venezuela) this week, in the left is a
very large and fragrant purple one, on the right is a Cattleya
Gaskelliana alba, given to me by my great aunt many years ago.

Two uncommon species: On the left Schomburgkia Thomsoniana alba from
Jamaica, on teh right is a Cyrropetalum that had no label, there are so
many varieties of them that it is hard to classify them.
