Now that is a great combination of characters and should grow up into a robust plant - an excellent new creation!

Re: Uncommon Digitostigma chimera
Very interesting, and actually a quite attractive chimera (the first one I have seen that I can say so!). It will probably grow quite well on its own roots. I wonder how stable it is, and if it can be propagated. If yes this chimera will make a fairly interesting plant to try to get at ELK at some point 
Cheers,
Marlon.
