Guarianthe skinneri 'Carpenteria' FCC/AOS

[Kavanaru]

This division is blooming for the first time at my place and I really hope it gets better next year...

Color seems to be fine, shape quite ok (for what this clon is supposed to be!) but size is just rubbish...

For size comparison... The other plant is a 'Heiti Jacobs' taiwanese mericlone (12 cm NS)

Size isn't everything. The color is gorgeous.

Well, I think in these cases it is! If you pay for a division of clon, which has received an FCC and is supposed to have large flowers, you would not like to have mini-flowers! (note: I am not talking about a no-name cheap skinneri!)
