Lin I don't either. It had been pretty much accepted I thought that loyceandrewsiana and latufolia have enough morphological differences that loyceandrewsiana was separated as a mother legitimate species....the leaves are thicker, get larger and a lot heavier than latifolia and as I understand it from what limited information is available they have a slightly different shape. I am getting a lot of big leaves at the moment but so far no blooms!
@CHEKAI its really nice to have a new voice on the forums! I have known several very eccentric plant people LOL. I had a friend who worked for Glasshouse Works for a number of years before she left the North and moved here, she grew some unusual succulents for them.
We visited Lotusland when we lived in Cali it was a trip! It was what inspired me to grow my first Lotus (a dwarf Momo Botan) in the late 1980's.
