Which would you choose and if you have comments as to why, I'd love to hear them.
OR convince me I need both. :twisted:

Thank you!

How hard would it be to convince you to get both? :poke:

Both have their places. I kind of like a good gratrixianum more than an insigne, but it can be hard to find a really good gratrixianum. Gratrixianum has more interesting leaves. I find gratrixianum blooms a little more easily for me (at least it did under lights).

Just get them both and decide for yourself!

Very, very difficult. I know you types, if I said it would be easy, you wouldn't take my question seriously. Saying "get both" is taking the easy way out. :poke:

I would choose neither....Fairrieanum is a clear choice...Oh wait not a choice... I like the looks of gratrixianum better than insigne. It is an easy specie a little better ease of culture than insigne also. Look at the Birk Book for comparisons. Hope I helped a little! Hey its better advice than throw it away...I can be nice too!

Thanks for your advice, Tadd! I will check the book also of course.

I actually, :embarass: erm, don't really adore fairrieanum. Just not really liking it so much. Sorry! Not one I think I'll ever go for.

You helped a lot! Thanks!

BTW, which stays smaller? :?
