Lotusland

A melty bridgesii with a look of its own. Tips can come with very few ribs — the last one I cut off it was a 4-wind.

Read the reference entry → — what the name Lotusland means, where it came from, and what other growers record about it.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.
