Bifrenaria inodora unusual

[Frdemetr]

This one is unusual, for sure (but I don't know if it is rare); this plant has a history: the original was found in nature, and divided (I don't know if the original owner sold the whole plant) between Sergio Gutfreund ( ecoorquideas ) and Creuza Müller ( Orquidário da Mata ). Sergio sold his part (the whole part?) to an american citizen which japanese ancestry, and Creuza sold me half of her part. Creuza's plant pic is in the "Coletânea de Orquídeas Brasileiras vol. 2 - Bifrenaria" , author Marcos A Campacci (november 2003) ( Brasil Orquídeas ). Maybe an 'alba' variety?

Very cute

Thanks Susanne!
It's unusual 'cause the lip in Bifr inodoras are lavander, or purple, but not yellow/orange (as those I posted before, bellow). That's why I think it could be an alba form!

Nice one Frederico. Does you inodora have an odora?

Kim,
According to Mauro Rosim, the botanist who named Bifr inodora had a cold when he did it! "Inodoras" are delicious scented!
