This is the Mother plant of "Mia .. Variegate X" from which SubLime originally sported and does still.

"Mia .. Variegate X" is in full flush. 'SubLime' had never bloomed at the same time .. even though it is part of same plant. "SubLime" blooms are also a darker orange. "SubLime" was separated on it's own several years back. When the separated plants bloom, often the still attached sport will, also.

This Mother plant which is several years old is greenhouse grown. When the individual plants have been grown in the ground, they bulk up with lush and even more pronounced variegation. Both handle sun well and are very lovely and excellent to grow.

This has been a FUN and interesting plant to grow :-) .. lol

This 'SubLime' / 'Mia .. Variegate X' plant has been a lot of fun to grow :-)
And one from which I have learned a lot.
