Where in PA are you? If you're close to DC (or not), come to the Paph Forum next February: http://ncos.us/ncos/paph.htm

I live in central PA. I dunno about D.C., cities give me anxiety attacks

The National Arboretum is not in the city, just on the edge of Maryland and DC. Almost like suburbs.

Child, please!

*peeks out the window* Eeek! *locks door*

Has anyone ever seen a dianthum like this? The leaves are very thick and succulent, almost like a hybrid Phal. Leafspan is about 8in and it appears to be starting a sheath.

Could be a triploid, thick fast growth, or other polyploid variant.

Your dianthum looks like the whole group on dianthum I bought last year. Very thick leaves. Perhaps that's just the way they are! I hadn't ever had one before.

 

[chrismende]

group OF, not on...

 

[PaphMadMan]

It looks very healthy. Those leaves are not typical of dianthum in my experience, but they do look like the kind of changes I would expect from higher ploidy, thicker wider. The hint of patterning makes me wonder about a hybrid background though. If it flowers it should clear that up.

 

[tnyr5]

We'll find out soon enough .

For which one, Eric?

 

[NYEric]

Oh, I thought that was one order. Never mind.

 

[tnyr5]

Nah, I get around ;-).

 

[NYEric]

I do too. I just take a bigger bite I guess!

 

[tnyr5]

I'm very limited in growing space lol. I have room for a couple more plants and then I'm finished until I cull the ugly bloomers.
