What varieties of Echs. are you growing? I have grown a few over the years: White Swan, Jade, and Magnus but I WS'd about ten varieties I got in a trade last year and I got only two plants.Perhaps they were hybrids and sterile. It will be interesting to see how your plants develop.

Bill, I got a 'twilight' from you at the swap last year. It is up and doing well so far this year and I am really looking forward to seeing it bloom.
