Re: Dietes sp.


 

Ken,
      It is like the petals are wider, and the style arms are more erect.  I wonder if it is a hybrid, or a superior clone from within the species?

Last Sunday I was at the U.C. Botanical Garden in Berkeley and saw a Dietes in bloom; photos attached. I couldn't see a label. I have generally assumed that the cultivated plant usually sold has Dietes vegeta (now an invalid botanical name), is really Dietes grandiflora, however the Dietes in the botanical garden is more "grand" than they are.
