So what do your L. salicola smell like? I think mine have finally gone over now after I pollinated them with L. villettii :)

The 'Storms Snowcap' looks rather pale, or is it just the light? It is usually a strong brown colour with a prominent dark window.

Odd for L. marmorata. My first guess would have been L. lesliei.

Hard to tell Ian as I have a smell left from my Stapelia flower tainting the greenhouse. I'll take one outside tomorrow and let you know.
