   One of mine looks similar to the one you have, but it could
easily be a different hybrid. Look to see if the peristome
comes up to a 'point' at the bottom or that the peristome is a
bit more flared then alata. If it does, it's probably got some
maxima in it as well. I know that's a broad statement, but
maxima is a fairly common parent in hybrid neps.

   Oh yeah, mine thrives on neglect ;-)!

   I'll look forward to that after hearing about it in our
personal conversations.

Happy growing,

Chris
