Very pretty Ramon, I like that little "beard" they have. What is the fragrance?

Very nice, Ramon. Can you find Clowesia rosea in Europe? I think it's practically identical to Rebecca Northern in shape; however, its scent (to my nose, at least) is a bit stronger than Rebecca Northern's (kind of like cinnamon). Congratulations on your beautiful blooms.

Oh Ramon, They are soooo wonderful.

Thanks! :)

I cannot really describe this fragrance comparing to something else I know, it is kind of sweet-sour parfum, very nice and quite strong :)

Steve, Catasetinae are not easy to get in Europe. They are not very popular here... Except Ctsm. pileatum 'Oro Verde'... It was already quite difficult to get Clowesia Rebecca Northen...

Ramon congratulations for such an attractive blooming display and please show us pictures when the others flower spikes are fully open.
