When I ordered my Dend normanbyense this summer, I had to order a traveling companion, since Elsner has a minimum price limit when ordering. Since I was disappointed with the foliage of my new P. schilleriana 'Pink Butterfly' (which I doubt it is, due to the foliage), I decided to order another one, in the hopes of it having a more distinct mottling. It did, but I sure was feeling let down by the size of the plant, especially in comparison to what I paid for it.
It started working on a spike together with the rest of the warm growing mottled leafers this Autumn, and now the first two flowers have opened. Let's just say that all of my disappointment in regards to the plant size, have sort of flown out the window, upon seeing the flowers. I just love them.
I hope I'll get this little plant to like living with me, so I can enjoy it's gorgeous flowers many years to come.
