Wonderful plant. I don't think I've seen this one before.

Thank you. They're not seen around in collections as often as I would like to see.

My experience with them is that they're extremely slow growing rarely flower and rarer yet to produce seeds.

I got some from BCP a year or two ago.

It feels like they're growing in slow motion.

Mine don't look nearly as nice as Fishman's do.

Good growing,
Mike

Need two unrelated plants of this species, to cross pollinate with each other. They must rarely flower too, because I know mine hasn't yet. I'd be interested in a trade for one of yours someday if I can get this one to send out a plantlet for me. Our chances for seed would greatly increase one fine day.

In response to the growth rate, yes it has been painfully slow, but I've enjoyed it thoroughly. The moment I see a flower stalk, I'll likely have a stroke and wont be around to enjoy it.
