Phal. venosa

Another one of my favorites . I even think the "charcoal briquette" fragrance is interesting.

Nice but I find it hard to grow.

You're right real interesting, thanks... Jim.

A charcoal briquette fragrance??? How funny!

 

[W. Beetus]

Interesting color! That fragrance sounds quite interesting too.

Thanx for sharing.

Nice but I find it hard to grow.

Ditto, mine is struggling. I love the species though.

I thought the smell was halfway between charcoal briquettes and bacon!

You have a very nice one, Susan. The shape is nice and full.

Great flower Susan, and fine pic (I find they are tricky to capture, esp. with flash ) !!! Jean

Very nice example of the species!!! Wide segments and heavy markings almost covering the base color. A keeper!

Matchlite briquettes (ones with lighter fluid already saturated in) or not?

Hope mine looks like yours.
Someday.

Thank you all for the nice comments .

I don't detect much bacon, but there is definitely a "smokiness" .

:rollhappy: I don't smell any lighter fluid, though maybe a slight floral overtone.
