    Rodriguezia leeana ?

    This species is from Ecuador and I have been given the tentative name of Rodriguezia leeana. Does anyone have any question or confirmation of the name? Flowers about 1.5" long including spur.

    I used to have leeana, and it looked much like that. Mine had darker spots, but the same ivory whitish flowers with a pale pinkie flush.

    Here is the current blooming of this which I am pretty sure is Rodriguezia refracta. Also a second clone that bloomed for me. It is really beautiful and the flowers last quite well. The fragrance is a bit odd. Somewhere between fish and linens being pressed.
