Title: Unknown Pleione.
Post by: LarsB on February 01, 2015, 06:23:25 PM

I bought this Pleione last year as P. aurita, which it obviously isn't. I also bought P. forrestii and forrestii alba in at the same time. It doens't look liek the classic P. forrestii alba either.i can't find anything that gives me a clue. Anyone have a guess?

Kind regards

Another vote for forrestii alba -a rather nice one at that.

Agree with the others. A nice forrestii alba.

Thank you all. The forrestii alba i previously had was more colourfull, so i didn't really believe that it was. Then i probably just have a case of mixed up labels and hopefully got all three, but with mixed up labels.
