Beautiful Ely. Are there different kinds of illustrious? I have one that is just illustrious. It looks much the same.

Are all the leaves coming out that way?

Thanks,

yeah, there are 4 forms that I know of....blue nile, panther, regular Illustris and black princess. I have found 2 different strains the regular one, there is a lady from new orleans on ebay that is selling the black princess.

my mother plant I have had all but one come out that way. so far but last year when I got her she put out 1/2 and 1/2.....but the babies they don't like that patteren till they get bigger. but when the pups are poping out of the ground. it looks so black and not blueish tent. I think that is where they got the name from.

Thanks ely!

I was at Badseed's last Sunday. She mentioned you as a premiere EE source searcher and grower.
From the EE's I've seen you show I see why.
Thanks for the info I'll check out the other 'Illustris'.
