Wouldn't you know it....

I started a leaf from Blue Dragon and had lots of little plantlets - many of which I gave away, keeping the two sturdiest plants for myself. As they grew, one plant's leaves started doing a sort of curl to the edges, taking on a "holly" appearance. When they both bloomed it was obvious that one had come true to the variety and one was not. Wouldn't you know it that the "real" Blue Dragon" got crown rot and died on me - the survivor is the imposter BD (the one on the right.) Guess I need to get another leaf and start over! (You can be sure I learned my lesson. I'll never give away any back up plants until I've seen all the blooms and know for sure I've got the real McCoy!)
