I grew this sport many years ago and only recenty tracked it down again. I seem to remember it had lighter flowers, but the leaves are very different to other H publicalyx sports. Much larger, wider, waxier and heavier than the usual narrow leaved publicalyx sports..otherwise i might have thought it was incorrectly labelled........I find this sport the most attractive with its leaves....and its a quick grower. This photo of the plant shows a plant I got as a 2 node cutting less than 2 years ago. It gets a couple of hours direct sun outside, so the leaves have develloped an attractive hue...and very few silver spotting on this plant. I wouldnt be surpised if it was a hybrid from way back and its heritage has ben forgotten, but guess we'll never know now
