    My Resnova megaphylla is doing very nicely these days. It is a fatplant, in the Hyacinthaceae family and had reproduced and is was ready to be separated. I now have 3 of them.

    I haven't seen Joe Caudex around these parts lately. I wonder how he is doing. Thought he might like to see.

    This one I have had for about 15 years. It blooms regularly

    Not an expensive plant but unusual and not really common.

    Really lovely plant Waretop! Never seen one of those in my life! I love the way the leaves sit at ground level. Really interesting species! :-D

    The title sounds like some kind of contagious disease, and the plant looks like several green speckled tongues, lending yet more credence to the disease theory. ;)

    Joking aside, it's an amazing looking plant! :stew1:
