Ryan-
No, the ones I see here and on some websites are basically all the same common mix of the following: Genting Orange, Genting volcano, Tequila Sunset, Genting sunrise (?), Pink N Pretty, Red Berry, Genting Angel (not sure on exact name but Angel is definitely part of the name and these are heavily spotted)..I might have missed one or two.
I have not seen other varieties.
These two new tolumnias from TSG are new to me.
Didn't you buy some different varieties from Florida or something? I think I read your thread on them before.
They had spotted flowers.
What is Kool log? is it the stuff that carries water within itself and keeps plants hydrated at all time??
Adriana and others who have hard time blooming these plants-
I need to know how you grow them to be able to answer, but if yours are in those tiny clay pots, remember they dry out fast.
These need bright light and warmth to thrive and bloom. There are no tricks to get them to bloom. They will bloom when they are ready, usually when each new fan matures, it will generate spikes and bloom.
Given the fact that these like warmth and bright light, plus the tiny pots they usually comes in, makes them very dry. I suspect those who have hard time blooming these are not watering them enough. Any plants not getting enough water won't bloom. They just don't want to when there is not enough water. Plant is mostly made of water. Spiking and blooming is basically all water. no water, no flowers. simple!
Look at your leaves. They should be thick and turgid at all times. and a little bit of purple spots are good thing as well.
The ones in tiny clay pots, I dipped them in water at least once a day, usually twice, morning and afternoon.
Now I like to grow these in a larger pots so they don't dry out as fast as I am sick of carrying them around. I had so many before, and these little things kept me so busy.
Mines used to spike at least once a year, usually around winter and spring, but it bloomed at other times of the year as well. Also, spent spikes will often branch out and bloom a few more times, so never ever cut them unless they dry up on their own.
