Just something to think about. I got a CG cutting, known to really be the real thing. I grew it last summer, and all summer I was huffing and puffing (being vocal) because it looked like Dr. Suess foliage. I wrote to the person I got it from and asked if they were sure it was CG. Yes, positive. Had it for ages. Well, it bloomed last fall and still had some toothed foliage, but for some strange reason, as the plant got to the one year old stage, the leaves became more smooth. I took cuttings and one is about to bloom and sure enough, it has toothed foliage again. I've had Dr. Suess before and I really do like CG because of the size of the blooms and the way they hang. The plant can really get big too. Just wanted to let people know that until CG is older, you may think you have Suess. My Suess continued to have toothed foliage from year to year, even held over as a full grown plant. I know that these two plants are two of the hardest to identify. Both are gorgeous plants and hopefully, I'll always have one of them.
