This is a pic from Greentoe. He got it from Jan and she just calls if "Lacunosa Splash".

AHHOYA identified it as a Krohniana....

What is it?

I have a Lacunosa Snow Caps from EA, yours certainly looks like it

I know you identified it but I'm thrilled to be able to participate instead of just lurking or asking questions.

By the way, these are two of the splashy Krohiana's that AH offers for sale and they are not the same as the pic above..

Greentoe's is a lacunosa. Krohniana has more cordate (heart shaped) leaves than lacunosa.

Xuan, I live in Canada. Be for our family trip to Thailand and Malaysia I got a permit to bring back orchids and hoya's pluse a few other plants but i could not find the other items so it was just orchids and hoya plants. I did have to take all the dirt off the roots so customs could check the roots when I got back in Canada. I also had to get permits to take them out of Thailand. Every one was very helpfully and I found the whole thing easy.I would do it again if given the chance except this time I would just cut the roots off and just root them when I got home because I spent over an hour on each plant cleaning the roots.I did have few plants that I could not save when I got home.Have a nice day and why not take swing by the market I know that could not resit.

Well that was a fast reply. Now I have to figure out which is 'small form' and which is large form', cant tell the difference between them. The leaves are SO much alike, and the blooms look identical! So..dont know who this is yet. But I have a name!!

The lacunosa is most likely 'Snow Caps'.

Thats what i was thinking aswell but Jan does not call it that. It looks like a cultivar i once got from Gardino's that was called "Snow Caps Select". But that poor thing bit the dust and i have not been able to find another one like it. It had more splashing than the standard "Snow Caps".

1. Snow Caps Select is still Snow Caps. The parts of the mother plant with the highest amount of splash on the leaves SELECTED and removed, and potted up separately. No different than me cutting the best variegation off my incrassata 'Moonshdow', and potting it up to make a more aesthetic plant. It is still incrassata 'Moonshadow'. I don't like changing the name or adding "frills" to the name to make it appear to be a better plant, when it is the same plant and has the same chance of reverting back to less splash/variegation.

2. Jan is technically correct about the name. In non-trade nurseries, like Epiphytica, it is not referred to as lacunosa 'Snow Caps', because the trade name was (I think) developed by EA. I don't agree with trade names, as no matter what cutesy name you give it, it is still a variation of lacunosa (or whatever).

3. One Google image search for lacunosa 'Snow Caps' shows just how splashy they are. But I still call it splash, for reason #2.

I did just now google it and they can indeed be splashy. I have a small one i got from andy on ebay and it doesnt have splash like the photo above. Also, i saw 3 eight inch pots of "Snow Caps" last week at a lowe's in my town and although they had a little splash it was also not consistent like the photo above. They were mostly green. Im not sure what Epiphytica calls the clone.

I also though the clone i had from Gardino's was indeed its own seperate clone. Foolish me. lol The leaves seemed completely splashed with almost no green.
