I've loved this cross for years, but have had absolutely no luck with it. After killing at least five plants, all the 'Kodama' clone, I bought a 'Volcano Queen' last summer. This is its first bloom, and all I can say is WHOOOPPPEEE! It has a new growth about half way mature, so I guess I finally got it right.

Very nice! It used to be an easily available cross here, but recently the cross becomes rarer and most of them are not health-looking. Therefore, it is still in my wish list and I have not grown it.

Very nice, Kim. But do you know what you may have been doing with the previous five plants of 'Kodama' that wasn't to the plants' liking? Just curious...

Nice work, Kim - that color is really intense, more so, if I am not mistaken, than some other clones of this cross?
