hey ernie that white chalk ( lime deposits from my well water) is how i can tell my plants froms everyone else's lol. and you are right about the blooming on these, usually a couple times a year for me. they do start blooming at a young age and these have bloomed every year for at least 10 -12 years.

Congrats Brian, :clap: a beautiful plant and well grown. Bring a division along for me to the Milwaukee show. :evil: Actually I would be happy with a division of your second best if this one isn't already divided.

Joe Headrick x insigne fma. sanderianum 'Silver Creek' HCC/AOS) available , if you're interested.

I would've expected such a cross to have deformity issues; but, obviously you don't have that problem. It's beautiful and it's award is well deserved. Congratulations and welcome to Slippertalk!

Lovely form and all those dots! I actually like the wavy look of the petals.

John, I've seen these bloom sometimes with some color break, but never deformed.
