Turb lorenzini

[Eric Williams]

My plant has flowered for the third time this year. It has never done this in the past. Temps today hovering around 104f. Perhaps most plants have closed down due to the heat.

T. alonsoi, I think, Eric. Mine flowers off and on all summer.

Hi Diane, yes my label said “alonsoi”, I googled it to check spelling and it came up as “alonsiini”. Nice plantanyway.

Then Google is wrong. Duckduckgo prefers T. alonsoi, just like me. Probably named after someone names Alonso and not Alonsiin.

Named after Alonso García Luna.

Cracking plant.

I searched high and low for one of these at the national show and finally found one. I found turning a corner in the car that it leapt out of the pot. It had no roots whatsoever. It's taken until now to show any sort of root growth.

Turb alonsoi has to be the prettiest turb, if you only had one it should be this one.

Each to there own ("... eye of the beholder"). I'm equally torn between T. schmiedickeanus var. panarottoi (subs. andersonii), and T. graminispinus.

Turb Alonsoi available at ELK today. For the bargain price of only 3 euros, and with roots too!
