    A wonderful, fragrant Brazilian species. The specimen plant is growing in a 3" container. The new leaves come out with spots that fade with age.

    Awesome! Great photos! I love being able to see the flowers, as well as the rest of the plant. I tend to be a total package kind of girl. If I don't like the plant when it's not in bloom, I don't add it to my collection.

    Marni, is this a frequent or annual bloomer? I like it

    I agree! If i do not see what the entire package looks like, I pass. My plants live with me, so an unattractive plant will not work. Blooms are nice to see but if you only see them once a year, you'll be looking at "ugly" most of the time!

    As usual, a lovely plant, lovingly grown and presented.
