The leaves on this plant, Charles. Look to me to be more of an Arabicum/TS than that of obesum. There are so many crosses now it can be difficult to put an exact name to one.

Typically the flowers on the Arabicum have round petals in soft pink to dark red and fade to white toward the throat. The leaves of the Arabicum will have a fuzzy feel to them. The Thai Soco's will have shiny and smooth leaves.

** Just check for bugs on this plant. It seems in the photo that there may be something on the leaves. Better to check.

Thanks. Should be able to observe a flower in a few days.

I inspected the plant closely, found dirt and water spots, the only insects I could find were already dead.

Charles,

Definitely has the Arabicum flower type. Round petal margins and smaller flower than majority of A.obesum's.

Nice flower and plant.

Rick

Nice!

Thanks. It is now officially Arabicum, at least while it lives at my house.

Showing the pubescent throat. (Can I say that in a family rated forum?)
