it that real? Ive seen this picture before and recall there was some controversy.

 

[NYEric]

Is it still alive? I'll take it.

 

[Djthomp28]

Interesting!

 

[BrucherT]

Skeptical. If this were real, why only one strange leprechaun-green photo?

 

[P.K.Hansen]

It's the same photo Popow has on his website. No idea wether it's his or not.

 

[Guldal]

I have no clue to wether this picture is genuine or not... but the albino form of tigrinum is published as fma. smaragdinum (which epithet would fit the pictured flower to a 't'.

 

[Hakone]

you mean ?

It is Popows plant...I have several photos from him with it in better quality, so it is I just don´t know why this photo is of such poor quality...I have attached the original photos of his plant, actually he has 2 different types of tigrinum album, which I have attached also

 

[Happypaphy7]

Now, those are much more believable photos.

This is one of two holy grails of mine. Stunning flowers!

Absolutely amazing! Especially the first one.
Is it a smaragdianum? It is describes without any markings but in the photo I see some, but I'm not sure if green of different saturation is defined as "maculato or striato / spotted or striped" or not?

The first two photos look like tigrinum and yay, they are in focus. The latter 3 photos look like something else, hirsutissimum maybe.
