| Hello all,
I've had this plant for a while and always thought it was a XNid of some sort until my cousin gave me a Canistropsis, I now think it is Canistropsis.Tamarillo or Canistropsis.Cola.
Canistropsis.Tamarillo or Canistropsis.Cola
Thanks,

| Hi Rick, Yes, I agree your brom looks very like Canistropsis Tamarillo, which I also grow. I don't grow C. Cola, but comments on it suggest it is the same as Tamarillo? I think it would be a safe bet to label yours as Tamarillo. Here are a couple of pics of mine, grown in quite dense shade - hence narrower and less colourful leaves than yours. Your lovely brom has inspired me to grow a couple in brighter light.
NB. Your garden looks divine there in the background. :) Cheers, |

| Thanks Kerry, When I received this plant it, the plant and flower was dark green almost pitch black, I loved that look but haven't been able to achieve it since. My plant has been grown in filtered light, the plant and flower have gone a rusty orange colour when grown in stronger light. Rick |
