Peter Tristram 05/11.

From Peter Tristram... "Pics of a large species, currently in bloom, I got from Lydia in 2006 (label misplaced or plant mislabelled). T. trauneri looks reasonable for a match, though I think it has bloomed early. Kind of a pamelae with frosting and spreading floral bracts or a cretacea with wider leaves and a decurved spike. I suppose this group, including mooreana and kalmbacheri, are much easier to figure out (sort of!). By the look of it it will bloom for ages – over 4 months since my last pics, and the first flowers have just emerged.
