Oh thanks! I've been wondering about that! It's weird though. This plant came from a leaf rooted from the plant shown below.....can't imagine that they could change so much from a rooted leaf. The leaves look very different though. The plant above with the flowers is in a bright window (south window covered with a thin white fabric shade, where the plant below is in a room with little bright light....mostly pale light with just 15 to 20 minutes of bright light as the sun passes a high window.

I root the leaf stems in water then plant them. So glad you mentioned this because I've been wondering if the leaves of B. popenoei vary from plant to plant as much as these 2 plants do!. Could what I though was B. popenoei (below) actually be something else all together???
