Those flowers look like hungry slugs - just WAY nicer.
Is this a cool grower?

It is intermediate to cool growing, but doesn't seem that difficult. Someone else has compared them to seahorses, but I like the idea of slugs. |

Jonada, if you have species in this group and would like to trade, I've got a number of them.

These actually remind me of seahorses rather than slugs or insects. Really nice, Ron and a great set of pictures.

Thanks, Rosie. Several others on Flickr commented on their resemblance to seahorses which I was too dumb to see until it was pointed out. |
