Andrew, you will be probably right, I did get this at the Tamiami show last weekend and it was sold to me as kingianum, since the one I have home never bloomed I did not realize the shape and color is not right at the show. Ohh well, still nice little Dendro.

Kingianum has narrow petals, which point forward; attached are photos of 2 clones, which I have in bloom at the moment, 'Red Ink No. 2' and variety silcockii 'Sue' AM/AOS (the semi-alba).

Many thanks, I agree, it is not kingianum:-)

Many thanks Bud, it was show purchase so I can't take credit for these blooms:-) It was just cute and small and that fits my balcony:-) Looking forward to see yours:-)
