Ctsm. expansum 'Los Tres Pasas' x sib

2 Attachment(s)

Greetings -
Purchased as a juvenile from Gene Monnier - this is its first blooming - a large flower @ 8cm across and over 7cm high. Just opened fully this morning, so it may change, but the morning scent is a combination of bell pepper and dish detergent.
A really substantial, arresting flower.
Regards - Nancy
p.s. I wonder if it should be 'Pasos' (the three steps); as labeled it is something like 'the three things that happened'

Hi Nancy

Congrats :drool: :drool:

It is wonderful, I don't have any of these yet. Maybe next year i will buy some. :biggrin:

I'm always impressed with your capacity to describe scents!!!

Don't know about the pasos tough.

Scent update, Tricho -
Now that the flowers have been open for 1.5 days, the scent has developed into a happy combination of spearmint, cheddar cheese with hints of rye bread and maybe floor wax. It works!
