What a delightful place to visit in the winter, Daisy. Thanks for sharing the lovely pictures.

Those Bulbo's . . I can't help it, a lot of their flowers look like exotic sea creatures to me. Very pretty, mind you!

Thank you Elaine for the suggestion and link to contact Rafael Romero from Plantio...He got back
to me this morning..fortunately, all the chaos in Venezuela has not affected their internet! He said this
is Lc. Hausermann's Sultan 'Summer Spectacular'...and said it was an old classic.
and in other news...I went to the grocery store today and got this..even though it was not on the list!

Mtssa. Royal Robe with 2 beautiful spikes just beginning to open..a bargain at $14.95

Lindsey; I know this is a long-shot / Blast From the Past.... but... Do you still have the Hausermann's Sultan 'Summer Spectacular'? if so, would a division be available?

Sadly no, Glenn. This one got the quick moving and deadly brown rhizome rot and kicked the bucket right after a spectacular blooming. It was a lovely fragrant flower , held high above the foliage and did not need to be staked.

Glenn, Plantio la Orquidea is holding an open house this weekend at their Sarasota greenhouse.

I'm planning on going on Saturday if you'd like me to see if they have any plants of 'Summer Spectacular' available?

Ok, what's your price range on this?

Not that it really matters, if it's too pricey I will just keep the plant myself - I'll probably buy one for me too anyway. Bear in mind I'll have to send it to you somehow, too.
