Platyphyllum

Riding on Lorib's coattails
Unfortunately not at its best because some protective measures are illegal, like killing your neighbors for example, so the petals are not as long as they could be since the rats they brought here & refuse to deal with got into my growspace & chewed the ends off the buds.

Oh what a pain. Sorry about that situation.

 

[Duck Slipper]

Jeez!
I don't think its illegal to put out rat poison...and it works!

Its a bit different (shape and colour etc) cf the awarded platyphyllum ^^^^

Of course they had to chew the buds! Ugh!
This is such an interesting species.

Superbe, do you know the cross?

Shape is a bit more horizontal, but it's a tough call on color with the lighting so different. I'd bet they're actually pretty similar.

That's so disappointing about the rats but the plant pulled through and still gave you some flowers. It looks like there's a new growth starting at the base of the plant so fingers crossed the rats will have moved on by the next time it blooms. I found the second growth grew a lot faster than the first on mine and now the third growth is growing quickly too. I hope yours will do the same and you'll see it back in bloom next year at this time.
Is yours a 'Super Clone' from Sam?
