Guys, interesting your comments about Vr ospinae & var. gruberii. Mike you mentioned some patterned leaved Vr can take up to 6 years to pup? Is it normal for Vr ospinae var. gruberii to be slow to pup? I bought mine last year & didn't realize at the time it actually had a small pup attached. I've since seperated it off, thinking I might get another one, but no action so far.
Re the colouring, sadly I don't seem to have taken any pics of the parent when I first bought it, but as I recall it;s colouring was more brown & white rather than the current green & white. But yes they certainly have some variation.
