Clowesia Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'

[Roberta]

This one was discussed in a thread awhile ago... I think this one was a parent. I held off posting until all the spikes were at least partially open... it has been nearly 2 months since the first flower opened (on January 17) and that spike is still going strong, now three additional ones just getting going. Wonderful citrus fragrance. And note, pseudobulbs are completely dormant, the plant hasn't had a drop of water since late November or early December. I see just the beginnings of a teensy new shoot (not visible in the photo), so it will be awhile, probably 6-8 weeks, before it is ready for water.
