    The flowers are a delightful light green. Unfortunately in the photos the flowers look yellower than in real life.

    No, it is not my plant. I have a number of friends that are either AOS judges or are studying to be one. When they meet people bring plants for judging. Sometimes I, joing their meeting because in them you see plants that are extremely rare and seldom exhibited.

    The parrot is a Puerto Rican Amazon. I breed them in captivity and then they are released into the wild.

    A couple of vendors had a bunch of this species for sale at the Rendland show in FL this past weekend and the price was reasonable too. If someone wants to get one, it won't be difficult now.

    Andrea Niessen loaned me her spray and it didn't work. It was awful.
    There were not many for me to pick and even fewer I/C specie...two hours was all I could handle with those gnats.
