Hi Jim, Thank you for your response! It still was not open today - strange. 2 days of being fully formed, but only slightly open. (maybe that's another hint.) I took some photos and will figure out how to get them up for you guys to see. There may be tons of species and hybrids; however I know what I've had, or have; so the process of elimination will be a simple one, since I really haven't had many of these types. For example; the only H. tubispathus I've had, or have, are texensis, tubispathus, and tubispathus roseus. (Which it isn't, obviously.) I have not had any Habranthus hybrids. I'll try photobucket later on and hopefully you guys can help narrow it down further.
