| Positive | On Jan 29, 2004, palmbob from Acton, CA (Zone 8b) wrote: Not sure if this is a natural hybrid or not, but it is not an uncommon cultivar. This plant has some suckering characteristics and hardiness of the A brevifolia, while still retaining the warts, color and some leaf shape of the humilis. It is a much more vigorous grower and less prone to rot. Flowers later in the year than A humilis (spring instead of winter). Flowers are sort of mixture between the two species- simple on single flower raceme |
