I have 3 different clones of the laevegatum-type and they are all stingy. Slow to mature with a max of 3 flowers so far.
Very nice. How much light does this get in your grow area?

If blooming is the endpoint of maturity then I guess slow to mature is correct, but if getting to size is the criteria of maturity I would say this thing grows fast to maturity and then sits around and thinks about it for a year or two more.
Mine is a prolific grower otherwise.
huge multi growth plant and never bloomed equals a huge mature "seedling"! LOL
Rather then hijacking Rick's thread I'll post PICs of my laevegatums in their basket environment.
Rick, var laevigatum is identified in the Philippines as plants and flower smaller in size compared to typical variety. Flower overall has lighter color, petals are creamy with lesser lines and spots. Leaves are shorter too. This is rather hard to find there now. A friend of mine had one in the 90's, I hope he made a selfing out of that plant.
Actually, I like that definition! It fits too well!:rollhappy: the concept of a huge mature seedling cracks me up, probably more-so if I didn't have half a dozen like that
I'll add a pic of my plant in basket to your thread for comparison.
Here is a select plant identified as such. Very interesting.
