Longest leaves are about 9 inches long. The leaves are slightly sun damaged, flaky in parts, but are repairing themselves as time goes by. I know, seems strange.

Looking forward to see the flowers on this one! Equestris riverbend is on my wishlist, but it seems to be hard to find here in Europe...

I have an equestris Riverbend in bloom right now and I was wondering where it fit in within the equestris familiy. Is it an equestris leucaspis?

I've heard that the clone 'Riverbend' is an artificially selected tetraploid clone. I don't know the origin, but isn't it likely to be genetically "mixed" since it is artificially selected? I think var leucaspis is a variety from Northern Philippine (Calayan Islands), right?

I really have no idea! I have Riverbend and the flowers have a white/pink look to it that resembles the equestris var leacaspis pictures I have found online. I really don't understand tetraploid cloning or "mixing".
