Made this P. agnata x heterophylla cross back in 2013. In 2016, a couple of these same clones began to move into cristate mode with some fasciated growth.  The nice thing about crested growth in mexi-pings, is that when they reemerge from the other end of that rabbit hole, in 18 to 24 months time, the grower will find that their crested plant has propagated inself into multiple plants. This next plant shown, yielded 14 plants after its fasciated growth phase ended.   Some of those resulting plants from these former fasciates are now flowering again. Will try to take a few pics of these plants and their flowers when time permits, later this week. dvg |

A recent photo of this clone with flower.  A side shot of the flower.  And a closer look...  dvg |

Thanks Steve, here is a closer look at the flower's front:  dvg |

This little fella didn't flower last go round and seems to now be frozen in stasis,  probably confused because the lighting schedule was reworked.  Typically, what happens with this clone is they flower and then divide, as the one below has.  Very often, a flower will arise again from the new divisions.  dvg |

Was packing up a few of these bulbs to send off to a fellow hobbyist, and figured i'd share a couple pics,  with an obsolete Canadian penny shown for scale.  dvg |

I swear that these were solitary, individual mexi-pings in each of these pots, before they flowered.  But not long after flowering these clones like to divide, sometimes into multiple clumps.  And here they go again with the flowering.  No need for leaf pulls now.  dvg |

Haven't updated this cross in quite some time, so with the new leaves up, it's time again. Currently have a few pots of this hybrid in cultivation here.  These have all clumped up into multiple future divisions per pot.  They haven't sent up any flower stalks yet but those flowers should be showing up soon.  In the meantime, they'll just have to do their little bonfire impressions.   dvg |

A look into one of these rosettes today.   Found this volunteer growing near pot's edge and figured it must have come from some spilled seed sometime.  It's still small but already has a bit of a blush on its leaf margins. And since it is already nabbing fungus snacks, i'm tempted to move it on to its own pot and see what it grows out to be. dvg |
