pubescent flower stalk of H. ionasii

[Av8tor1]

My first H. ionasii (Ilu Tepui, Wistuba ) flowering....
I was surprised to see the stalk pubescent, reminiscent of H. pulcehlla (Akopan Tepui, Wistuba)

This is an old Wistuba clone, I've not read the current description of H. ionasii to see if this is mentioned as a characteristic.

Lovely none the less....

Thanks for looking.... and those of you who received a H. ionasii division from me, this is the same clone line.

Thanks for looking,
Av
