Gorgeous plants, that growing habit on the bellatalum is really interesting!
I'm partial to your niveum. Thanks for sharing, Rick, very nice!

Thanks guys.

The niveum is a single growth plant (1st time seedling) so I'm a little concerned that it will stress out and die from flowering.

The bellatulum was in a bag of sphagnum moss with no roots two years ago. I think its a pretty good come back. I plan on selfing it.

Bellatulum looks great! What is the parentage on that niveum? Looks like an Acker.

I got the plant from Helen Hersh. The tag says "sib x of Taiwan sources"

Which may not be too helpfull. I'm kinda pumped over the double bloom, but worried about burning the plant out from its small size.

I recently checked the roots, and they look good. We'll see.
