Title: Rhodophiala sp
Post by: BULBISSIME on September 11, 2010, 03:40:17 PM: Here is the flower of Rhodophiala species, may be R. advena or R. pratensis ...
Does somebody have any idea of the correct name ?
It comes from Chile and is flowering now.

Rhodophiala is a tricky genus, in my opinion yours looks more like advena than pratensis ( posted R.pratensis (I think!) recently, R. splendens in the past) - but it could also be something else...

Hans, I don't have the exact origin but will try to get it.

Looks a lot like splendens.

Are you sure it is from Chile?

best

perhaps it would be better, to see also a photo with natural light, in way to have a various chromatic effect
Title: Re: Rhodophiala sp
Post by: BULBISSIME on October 03, 2010, 01:52:54 PM: It's with natural light, only added a black background, but I'll try another pic if I've time today.
