Here's a photo of TX Stars and CA Gold. I just took these outside to do a side by side photo shoot:
L to R: TX Star from Ty Ty Nursery, CA Gold, (Next 3) TX Star from TX. Taken 05-22-2009.
As stated earlier, the TX Star from TTN was set immediately next to the sliding door to the house, but still inside the greenhouse. The CA Gold, and the 3 TX Stars from TX were located in the middle of the greenhouse, approximately 5-feet from the exterior glass. There is a 750-watt oil-filled heater between the CA Gold and TS from TX.
For further comparison, here's a Dwarf Orinoco that was smaller than the CA Gold when they were transferred to the greenhouse in late October:
As the photo depicts, this plant about 18-inches from the West glass and 2.5-feet from the South glass. The 750-watt heater, mentioned above, is 12-feet away to the East. The wall of the house is 3-feet from the railing to the right of this picture. Leaves that are showing on the right of the photo are from the Cinnamon Tree (Canela) that I bought for $14.98 last early December from Lowe's.
