[Hakone]

From friend ( chiang mai )

 

[Wendy]

Ohlala...that is a cutie! Very nice. :clap:

Nice thaianum with dark spots.

This is new... 'Polka Dots' would be a suitable clonal name..

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Pretty darn good shape to that bad boy. I like it.

 

[W. Beetus]

Beautiful spots!

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Is that pure thaianum? It seems too pretty and shapely.

 

[SlipperFan]

Very sweet.

 

[SlipperKing]

I think so Eric. Very nice indeed. I got my fingers crossed mine turns out as nice!

If I would run into this when visiting a nursery I wouldn't think twice about buying it.

I have been told by a friend who has seen thaianum in the wild, that this species grows together with the dwarf form of godefroyae and does create natural hybrids. Is it possible this may be one?

Only the "man made" hybrid will give insight to this question Brett. Has it been made as of today?
