I have the above plants from Don. P. cyclosecta is a tight
rosette, all green, under lights that turn other pings pink.
Plants are about 3 cm. in diameter. P. kondoi is also about
3 cm. in diameter, but is more yellow than green. As best
I can tell, my kondoi so far has no pink, although other
species do. "cyclosecta" appears to have a slightly tighter
rosette and slightly more curled leaf margins than "kondoi".
All pings are in the same mix, under the same light, and get
the same spritz of MirAcid once in a while.
Barry, maybe you got the labels mixed, or they were shipped
with the labels flipped?
