Mauro, those are outstanding! How big is the plant itself? Are all (or most) labiatas strongly perfumed, in your experience?

That would look marvelous in my greenhouse! As usual, your cattleyas are superior in every definition of the word.

Thank you guys, you are all very nice!
Steve, the average size is around 30cm. Plants coming from the State of Ceará are smaller than this and plants coming from the States of Alagoas and Pernambuco a little taller than this. In my experience, all labiatas are strongly perfumed! |

Excellent information on both counts, Mauro. Thanks for answering my questions--and for the inspiration to do my best to get my two plants to bloom next fall!
