I got this plant in July 2015 from Tom-DE I think. I could be wrong on that. It bloomed shortly after I got it with 5 flowers and I think the petals were close to 8 inches. Its taken this long to rebloom it. I'm hoping it will pick up some steam!
I love the tight petal twisting.

Hmmm not as small as I thought lol.

The laevegatum leaves are about 12-14 inches in total tip to tip.

Also the previous bloom pics look like regular roebelenii with long twisting petals.

I stand corrected ;)
 
Yea, its not small. With the leaves being narrow it gives the eluson of being small.
Stephen, size is everything, isn't it? LOL
 
Yep, the twist is what sucks me in too. Especially if I can get it in sandie hybrids.

I think in the original pic above I can count 11 turns in one petal.
