Wink Potinara Red Crab picture
Hi everyone,
I thought you might like to see what my Potinara Red Crab "uncle wang" might look like if it ever blooms again.
If you remember, when I brought it home it had bud blast. The picture is in my signature area below.

Default Size of Potinara
Not sure how big the flower will be. THe bud was approx. 1.5 inches long just before bud blast set in. I'll keep you posted when and if she blooms again.

Red Crab is now my avatar.....from my photo gallery. Of course this is what it 'should' look like if it every blooms for me. I have a new shoot that started approx 10 days ago, it's only about 1 1/2 inch long thus far....hopefully my new MSU fertilizer will help old Red Crab 'Uncle Wang' along. Thanks for asking! I'll keep you posted, if and when!
