I have both cinnamomifolia and pottsii. Both are in the sun part of the day. The leaves look identical to each other except the pottsii leaves are larger and both have the red color. Neither one has bloomed yet.
The cinnamomifolia was received in a trade March 07, along with diversifolia, fungii and crassipes all from the same person, in a trade. I've come to think that fungii and crassipes are mislabeled carnosas and possibly diversifolia is also.
Do cinnamomifolia leaves turn red in the sun like pottsii, or is this mislabeled also? The only plant that has bloomed so far is the mis-labeled fungii. Here is a picture of it. It is blooming again and the peduncle is 3 inches across and the flowers last for over a week. I'll take pictures tomorrow of the cinnamomifolia and potsii side by side.
