There are quite a few comments from others in that 2006 thread from Mike V. and Joe real who shared their growing experiences and felt California Gold was different than the typical Dwarf Orinoco. As Gabe wrote above, he believes if there are any differences between California Gold and Dwarf Orinoco it's that California Gold might hardier/faster sport
This is great to know.... The Orinocos I had did seem a bit different, so maybe they really were CG. They definitely had the singular separated hands like that example. Thank goodness I rescued a few of them and planted them in the ground at my sister's house. Now I will have to grow some Dwf Orinoco's side by side with them to see how or if there's any difference.
