What can I say, thanks a million, I'm flattered!

There are many strange forms of D.villosa, but the one you bought
is a form from the Serra dos Orgaos, mountains in the state of Rio de
Janeiro. These were the first D.villosa introduced into cultivation in the
70's by Reginaldo Britto, an ex-CPer from Brazil.
