    Very nice, Gilles! I have a few in my collection, and I was very pleased when one recently bloomed out like your third photo. So what's your take: is this tetraspis and speciosa 'C1' the same? And if so, what's the correct name? I know there's a big debate, but I've never really delved into it.

    For me "C1" or "C#1" is only a commercial name.
    In my opinion it is a tetraspis with a special color, but the shape is exactly the same than all the others tetraspis, so...:p

    Just got the C#1 plant in bloom. =) I was told by the grower, if you give brighter light the red color are more prominent.
