Though the plant is new to me (had it less than a month) it has lots of promise. It is budding now ready to send up a flower stalk on April 5th. It has started growing and opened up its octupus legs since going into the ground. It may use that roll-up under stress to protect the center of the plant. It has upper leaf bumps like parvula, but most of them don't seem to be as pointed as the parvula.

I have another clone acquired at the same time (both seedlings) and it has almost identical characteristics, growing, but not ready to flower.

Will post another image whenever the present budding plant flowers.
