Chamaelobivia ID please

Post by Phil Hocking »

I had this hybrid from John White and the writing on the label has completely faded. I might be able to remember it if someone can run a few possible names past me. Thanks.

Hi Tony, thanks, yes I'm still about but got sidetracked by Facebook. I really can't remember the name but have a vague idea it was quite unusual. John tends to create his own hybrids and I don't see him very often these days. The flowers are very short-lived and I have always failed to get a photo until now, so there is no previous photo of it with the name attached. I really must get into the habit of rewriting labels as soon as I get them home. I have so many where this has happened. Pencil is best I think.
