I know it is a long shot but if you have one and can spare a cutting I would be most grateful.

Take a look at my growlist and let me know what I can provide for you in exchange.
 
You might want to look out for some similar ventricosa clones, like Alba (mainly a Euro clone), EP's clone C and D, and MT's Clone "Wide Pink Peristome", which are much like Porcelain.

Here's a good link to feast your eyes on.



Good luck! If you ever find one, don't hesitate to rub it in my face! :drool:
 
Thanks for rubbing salt in the wound there. LOL. Great link, I think this is the one that got me going on pale forms of ventricosa.

I thought ventricosa (d) was synonomous with the porcelain form. Is it not?

I will gladly open the plea up to form c, d, and alba. They are all very handsome.

There's some speculation that they may be the same, but no proof. :p


I have seen clone C sparing available in the US... but it can cost quite a bit ($70). I'm trying not to get you depressed, but it's hard considering how rare these clones are. :-))
 
Tell me about it. I see clone c is coming in on a shipment soon and may be available in small quantities, but I would really rather have clone d or porcelain.

Edit: Thanks for the info Clue!

Me neither but that was his response. That is very cool if EP's clone is female.

Crap... I just realized I misspelled synonymous. I have become too dependant upon spell check it seems. LOL.
 
EP clone C and D are not the same plant as the 'porcelain' clone that Rich is showing in the link, that comes from Kew/Longwood. I suspect the MT wide pink peristome is the same plant based on what I was able to find out about it.

I suspected someone would say that having read the history behind the different clones. I am in no position to argue. I will take Geoff's response as. Clone (c) is the one that closest resembles 'porcelain'.

They are all beautiful.

* This thread is closed. I have located a ventricosa (c) and will be happy with that for the time being. :)
