I actually made a video a year or two ago comparing 2n vs. 4n blooming amethystoglossas. Both of these plants are blooming for me right now and I'll post pics soon: https://youtu.be/28yc40Btsyc

My memory tells me the sound isn't great on that video. I was still trying to figure out how to get decent sound in my videos at that time!
