Hello Mark.

My apologies for the delayed response. With low temps in the mid-30's here now, I've been busy moving plants indoors. It's always nice to get your comments and see your pics.

Regarding your first pic...although it doesn't seem to be labiata (from what I know, anyways), it is gorgeous! I love the colors and the drama. Put that one on a future trade list, please!

Congrats on your gilbertii seed pods! I have a small gilbertii plant that's about a year old now. I'm looking forward to seeing the flower next year.

Responding to the posts in order...ok, cool, A. galeata. Congrats again! A nice one for sure.

One of the big thrills for me this season was my first seed-grown A. raja flowers. Absolutely charming, they seem to float in air on their long peduncles. I was thrilled to get at least 200 flowers from my plant in a 12" pot.

Regards,

Erick
