Alma, Nice to have you here. That is a bud and SOT is gorgeous. So pleased for you and hope to see your bloom.

Alma, I hope it is variegated for you. Without blooms variegated still pretty.

Rick, this is the one whose branches kept on shreivling up on me. She arrived in late August last year from Thailand and never leafed out til just these past cple weeks. I guess those highs 90s and 100+ temps we had really helped. I really hope it ends up variegated!

Alma,

If the first set of leaves do not come out heavily variegated, the subsequent ones can follow w more variegation. Even if you do not see a lot (hope you do), this does not mean it will not in further flushes of growth.

So excited for you.

Rick

Good to know, thank you. Has lots of new growth below the shreivled branches.
