I have dreamt about owning a jenmanii with this lip pattern like jenmanii s/a ‘Canaima Lipstick’ (remember our discussion in other threads?).

I finally was able to get one! Triple yayyyy .

Here it is in all its splendour! NS 14.5 cm

Where did you get it?

I got it from a US collector in Florida last year.

very bold.

Yes, agree on triple yeah. This would likely be an upgrade to even a fine fine collection. There will be room at the DRB greenhouse. Also special in that it blooms in the middle of the spring show season.

Took some pics outside in the sun today among the snow and Toronto skyline. Was bright and warm enough.

The lip color popped out nicely. Really strong heavy jasmine smell as well.

Where do is get the pots? Is it a repurposed container? I love that you are able to pot deeply with the bulbs sunk down.

These are clear plastic pots I get from the local suppliers here like Jay from RavenVision.
