My New Rare Plant

[atmccmn]

Just got this recently. A caulescent form of ionantha but not van hyninghii. Overall length measures to abt 8" in length. Truely bizzare!

Sam, yes it is. but Paul didn't address it as such name. I'll just leave it for them how to name the plant. I was told it's a very old plant.

Another beauty Andy! Can't think of anyone more likely to propagate lots of those - hope you get flowers soon!

Thank you Shawn for your nice thought.......but I really like it to be this way. After it flowers, I'll have to start all over again.

It's true.......I'm too tired to wait for it to grow to this size again.

Han, the growth rate is the same as like any ionanthas. But the size we're talking is 8-9" long plant. Not a 1.5"-2" plant....I'll let you do the calculation.
