Comments |
Have similar characteristics
of B. fragrans, some thoughts that they are the same species.
The one I photographed below matched the description of the species
well. |
B.
flagellaris - This
clone is from Brazil. Each stalk produces many flowers, up to
9-10. Flowers are significant smaller than the other ones that
I have labeled B. flagellaris, also from Brazil.
B. flagellaris - This
clone is also from Brazil. In contrast with the above plant, this
clone has very large flowers, and the plant's size is also twice
as large. I never did get more than 2 flowers on a spike. Regardless
all the differences, both of my large and small "flagellarisses"
has the same characteristics when come to flowers. Another nodosa
mystery??
B. flagellaris - Another
one from Brazil. Smaller flowers produce in cluster. Very nice!
