    Default First bloom on this plant

    I present you another of my beauties! It is a first time bloomer. The label identifies it as a Pot. Hsing Ying 'Pink Doll'. I think this plant was not labeled correctly. What do you think? Any suggestions?

    Beautiful! Most probably Lc. Love Knot or one of its very similar hybrids IMO.

    Do you have a lathehouse! It looks like you do?

    I believe it might be Cahuzacara (Potinara) Hsinying Pink Doll. (Little Mermaid x Li Hjiuan Dancer). (genera omitted for simplicity) Little Mermaid is (walkeriana x Bc. Maikai).

    This is my version of a lathehouse. Only the walls. On top it has shadecloth of different % to accomodate different light needs. It is working. I made it myself. I'll post pictures in the future. And thanks for the compliment on the plant.
