This opened today and was a complete surprise to me. I expected the flower on this German Empress to be much larger. I have found that there are several variations of this plant. I have another that had much larger blooms earlier. bob
Nopalxochia phyllanthoides.- Deutsche Kaiserin, German Empress
The plants blooms have gotten larger 5/14/13 and the colors have enhanced. (see later picture below in post). Absolutely beautiful bloom!
