I don't know what CPs qualifications are, but he said that
he is a taxonomist. I'll also note that he claimed to have
received a D. coccicaulis ID'd as a D. venusta, which implies
that he believes these to be distinct species.
Personally I just grow the plants for show, so I don't get up in
arms either way, as long as I know what plants I'm going to receive
based on the name I order them under.
Jan, do you knoq if Joachim is still selling plants? I sent
him a letter a few weeks ago with a reply coupon in it and
haven't heard back from him yet. Perhaps he's just busy.
