Finally the wait is over!

This is the darkest one of this cross (so many I have bought and tossed over the years) I have and I'm lovin' it!!!

It also has a new fan going, so it might bloom more than once a year. All my other Hsinying Alien grew a new fan after flowering and it took a while before initiating a new fan.

The leaves on this one are also quite different compared to its siblings.

I'm keeping this one.

Very nice! I love the ultra dark color.
I have a Hsinying Rubyweb with an ultra dark spike but it won't be that dark once it opens.

That is a nice one, I can see why you will keep it. I also like the shape with the points.

Is yours straight Hsinying Rubyweb?
I have quite a few hybrids with one of their parents as Hsinying Rubyweb. It is a great parent I think!

I still have a few to bloom out, but out of some that I have already bloomed last year, I found two that are very dark and beautiful!

Thanks, all!

Yes, I love this flower, shape and color, everything! Well, it is rather small, that's about it.

They are about the same I think, except the petals on mine are really black.

I think the parts that are supposed to be expressed as warts on mine turned into even layer of thick paint. lol

I do have Hsinying Alien whose flower looks very similar to yours with all that heavy warts and hairs all over. It's in a way creepy, in another way cool. haha

I have kept four plants of this cross, all different.
It is so interesting and I'm so enjoying the different flavors!
