    I had been looking for a Richard Mueller hybrid for some time and came across this little one a few weeks ago at a garden shop in San Fran.......I am in love!

    Love it! The Richard Muellers are irresistible. I love all the spots and dots.

    Nice. Appears to be more heavily spotted on the front side of the petals than most of the Hoku Gems.

    While I obviously can't speak for Jason, I'd have to say probably no scent, Betty. In my experience, the Hoku Gems have no fragrance. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever happening upon a Richard Mueller cross that was fragrant. Hmm........

    If that is so; then I'm wondering "why" my bc. Fuchs Star is so fragrant during the day ?! It's supposed to be a brassavola/cattleya maxima cross. Aren't the Richard Muellers crossed with brassavolas? Betty
