Received this hybrid as a bonus plant, from its creator Cole Bonfield, in a recent order.  Cole ended up with close to fifty unique plants from this crossing of P. gigantea "purple flower" x emarginata "large red rosette", with this one being numbered as "8" in this lot. Some of the older leaves took a beating during shipping, but as leaf pulls, each has struck multiple plantlets.  If interested, here is link to pics of some of the other siblings in this lot, and their flowers. cpnorth.proboards.com/thread/75/gigantea-purple-flower-emarginata-rosette?page=1&scrollTo=286 Will post another update or two once it settles in and flowers. dvg |

This particular clone leans toward its pollen donor parent, emarginata,  with both its rosette and its purple veined flower.  dvg |

Scratchy, the fat orange cat dropped by, and took an interest in my subject,  and he had me concerned for a moment, that he'd take a chomp out of the flower stalk,  but Scratch just wanted to rub his chin on the flower. dvg |

This clone continues on with its winning ways.  It sent up seven flower stalks in this last flowering spurt; the emarginata influence is expressed in this willingness to flower away. dvg |

This is what became of the leaf pulls from the first post here - they were potted up into two pots, figuring that the delicate plantlets that were intertwined together or otherwise entangled, could be separated later to avoid damaging the tiny leaves and roots, at that time.  Now the plants are larger, and still not divided.  I have a sneaking suspicion that when i finally separate these plants, that i'll be left with even more unintentional leaf pulls.  dvg |

Here are a few update shots from today of my two clones from this crossing by Bonfield, #8 and #16. From above, #8 on top, #16 below.  These leaf pulls from my #8 mother plant are now flowering.  A #8 flower.  A closer look at the rosette of clone #16.  And lastly, an older #16 flower in full sunlight.  dvg |

Took some backup leaf pulls from the #16 clone, and have had them outside for well over a month...  ...and though it has lost almost all of its red coloring, it is latching on to a few fungus gnat snacks. dvg |
