Hi Clare.

I had that on my watch list!! Sorry you paid so much for it, but I'm glad it is in the "family". Sounded just like mine from the description.

Go to the galleries and look at the pictures of 'varig8'. He shows one that looks EXACTLY like my plant he calls 'Miami Gold'. When I contacted him he said mine was 'marginata', but I have that and I'm not an idiot - I know the difference. The only similarity between it and 'marginata' is the color. Leaf shape and the build of these plants is completely different. For that matter it doesn't look like the real dwarf namwahs in this thread either.

My plant still looks the same except for being shredded by falling acorns. Growth was steady but slow this summer, and it is staying outside for the winter. I did move it to a spot closer to the house to give it better protection and to plant something else in its place. Since it has been so slow and shows no sign of puppies I need that space for something bigger.

Congratulations on winning the whatever-it-is! I will be interesting to compare notes.

Russell
