Hi all,
Probably this helps. To the best of my knowledge, it was not a hybrid (from a pollination) but from the failure of a tissue culture experiment of S. cylindrica. The result was like that, yes, a bit bloated :) but some people like it though.
It's been more than 4-5 years I guess by now and the pups remain like that.
Best regards,
Ida

Please have Peter dump the pot and take a new picture. I wanna see the rhizome connection between these 2 plants.
