    Love it! Is the plant a mini? I would assume so, but you know what they say...

    Beautiful! I have never heard of this species. Where was it discovered, and what are the growing conditions?

    It was Discovered in China's mountains and so it needs cool conditions, with a dry winter and shade!!

    Thanks,
    It sounds like it would do well in Alberta's cold winters. This one would not need to be under lights, is that right?
