    Thumbs up Pot. Hoku Gem 'Freckles'

    This is one of the plants that I divided over this past winter. (Bl. Richard Mueller x Slc.Tangerine Jewel) This plant now has 5 new growths and two other sheaths. The other plant has 6 new growths with one sheath. I really like this plant, it blooms every four months.I love that fact. Have Fun,Rich

    No Betty it isn't fragrant. It will change to a solid yellow with the same red spots. The Mueller effect. Take Care,Rich

    I just got a Hoku Gem, and added to my overloaded counter, and it's all your fault! The good news is that it came with 2 buds = ))

    Gita, you won't be sorry. LOL For me this is really a great plant. It's compact and is a really good bloomer. As I said, now I have two plants that are doing really well. Have Fun,Rich
