Hi Yale,

Looks like it's going to be a beauty, I especially like its arching form. It's a type of S. Cylindrica (sorry if that's obvious, but you did say you didn't know). Which I don't know, as I believe there are a few at least.

I currently have one which is ridged like that which I've grown from a single leaf (it's got its 1st new leaf).

The Cylindrica I saw in bloom in Calif in 2001 (indoors) was quite large & incredibly fragrant in bloom. I literally followed the smell across a home I was visiting 'til I found the source, a HUGE pot of them in a bedroom, next to a sliding glass door. So cool.

Hope you'll favor us w/ more pix when it opens & let us know if it too is fragrant.

Sorry I don't have a more specific name for you.

A better vier of the same plant. Yale

I believe this is actually a suffruticosa.

It is beautiful.
I have a very small one.
I can't wait (I know I must) until it gets so large!

Another one, blooming at the same time, with 6 flower spikes, and now bearing several seeds. Yale

Love them, wish I could sniff!

Very nice!

Now have several seeds, most from S. ehrenbergii. Still green but a couple of months old. Will send some out, if anyone wants to experiment. It is hard to say what you will get, if anything from a seed. Yale
