As far as I know, this is a sport of a cloned species, not a hybrid. It does sometimes get some strange and stunted growths, but it is a good grower and a great choice if you love Gramms but don't have the space for the really massive ones! Mine tried to bloom all summer which was a nice surprise, (no special care, just loves the heat and humidity of the summer here I think!)

I plan on ordering one of these too, if you want I can order one for you too and send it to you with no indication that there's a plant inside if you're willing to take the risk.
