United StatesNeoporteria coimasensis
When ordering plants, I always hope when they arrive they have undamaged flower buds if any flower buds at all . The Neoporteria coimasensis that I ordered from PD had flower buds which opened about a week later. The prettiest magenta colored flower opened on the first day of spring. What a beauty! Thanks Planet Dessert!
