Is this a real cultivar? I bought this from a Chinese Vendor? Here is a link. http://www.chinese-cp.com/gallery.php?id=499

I can't find much info on this cultivar. So I am curious if it is a different cultivar and somehow the name is different in different regions? I think it looks like a G16 or even a Low Giant.

Either way, I am very, very happy. I think it's beautiful and came in great shape.

None of the pictures look super big to me. And, as always, if it is not labeled as G16 or Low Giant or something when you buy it, you should not label it as such.

It's certainly a very nice plant though, it looks great! The coloration is superb.

Not all popular cultivars are registered. I would note the seller it came from, how it was labeled and pass on that info If I sold/traded the plant. The down side is anyone can name their plants. My favorite eBay seller(extreme sarcasm) likes to name new VFTs weekly. This adds to cultivar confusion and multiple plants with the same name.

Nice looking plant regardless.

I think I know who you're talking about. It annoys me too. :x

Looks like you got Red Dragon. Don't they provide the English name for the cultivar? If the site you got it from has anything that looks like 红龙 or 赤い竜 Then it's red dragon for sure.
