I love these!! Image link:

Yes, that tree is very cool and it has great variegation. Is this tree on your property? If not, I would see if you can dig the tree to move it somewhere safe. Someone could find it and think it's diseased and destroy the tree. Also, once the tree gets larger it won't be easy to move. Now that the tree is in-leaf, I would maybe wait until fall to dig the tree. If there is any danger that the tree will be destroyed, move the tree immediately. Be sure to ask the property owners first, if it's not on your property. Good luck, tl³

UFO!!!! I graduated HS the same year Jodi. While I loved Rock, I eventually turned into a real disco boy. Grew up where they filmed Saturday Night Fever, Danced at Studio 54 (did way more than dance, but the kids are reading this post...LOL)I was also one of those New Wave nuts for a while, you know, green / blue pony tail, ala Duran Duran hair...scary, but damn those were some great times in NYC. Larissa, that Basuto is beautiful even if you don't think you're getting the color correct. And Wedding Dance is gorgeous, have you tried a Ludwigs Dazzler yet? The little H. Larissa I have has not grown any leaves yet but the bulb seems to have grown quite a bit in size, can't wait for the sunroom to warm a bit more at night, that's when the growth will start. Lar, the Papillio babies are holding their own, and I think we may have talked about an aphroditie? they are recovering nicely from the bulbfly surgery and seem to be enlarging. I find the aphrodite to be evergreen, the forced dormancy last fall 07, was not appreciated by the bulbs. They are also repeat bloomers for me, 3-4 stalks a year. Spring and summer from surprisingly small bulbs for the amount of bloom. Now, you're starting to sound like Jodi with her soil, back away from the Basuto... Gotta get me a Basuto, Black Pearl, or even a Red Lion. Can't believe I have no solid red here! Zombie is showing signs of a stalk, Piccolo, and Jungle Bells (thanks for the JB Mariava)are as well. I've got a vittatum from Jane_artist that is also putting out roots and the bulb is enlarging but no leaf growth yet. Here is a link that might be useful: For Jodi

Congratulations. It seems like if it was loosing it´s attachment to the Peresquiopsis. I had a similar one that I loose, because after a week, the Digitostigma fall down but It was growing a small root. I made the mistake of cutting again the root and grafted it over a new cut of the Pereskiopsis but It failed. Maybe if I only planted again the seedling with it´s small new root It was alive today.
