2 unknowns, first might be R. cautleyoides? Second is very small, hardly 1.5 cm big (or small). Any ideas?

A lovely clear white Roscoea I got as a gift from a fellow SRGC-member who grows it in her garden near Glasgow. The clear white was too much for my poor camera to cope with....

Wim, Ian McEnery posted a picture of the same white form in the "June 2011 in the Northern Hemisphere"-thread (page 3) with basically the same problems as I had photographing it, either the flowers are overexposed or the surroundings are underexposed on the picture, it is really the purest white and my picture also doesn't do justice to it.

Roscoea humeana alba has one of the largest flowers of the genus, I think. It is, without doubt, THE most beautiful  8) I have loved it since I first saw it in a slide from Ron McBeath and it was one of the most exciting days for our garden when we obtained it!  It's not up yet this year.... hope it is okay.  :o

Fingers crossed Maggi. Do you know if it produces viable seeds or is it self-fertile? I think the plants I have are also traceable to Ron McBeath but do you know the history of it? Is it a single clone in cultivation or a naturally occuring variant?

I'm still unsure whether I like this one or not.

I have processed the .raw with Photoshop and did a closer crop so hopefully this picture does it a bit more credit. The lack of contrast in the whites is a real test for my digicamera.
