This one is only in a 2" pot...

From the label, looks like we have used the same supplier, Jim :grin: .

I stated the size of the pot to give some sense of scale,especially after the large ones Bill showed earlier in the thread. I am interested in the completely yellow part, and wondered if anyone knew whether or not pillansii does this on a regular basis?

I do have a larger plant without a label that I think is also pillansii on which some of the leaves are almost pure yellow. Perhaps they have all been propagated from one parent plant.

Edit - sunshine now so picture of larger plant in 2¾" pot
