That's great news. I know I'm anxious to get a couple plants for myself.
I've been familiar with the plant for about 2 years and had the fortune
to see it in person last July. It is a beautiful plant and I appreciate
your efforts in making this cultivar available to all.

Is it just a coincidence or has the successful sale/introduction of the
'Red Dragon' VFT caused many more growers to introduce previously
limited clones/cultivars into tissue culture? If my estimates are
correct, there should be at least a dozen more CP cultivars(and plants
not yet formally named) available from tc in the next couple years. I
don't think that there has ever been such a conserted effort. Whatever
the reason, CP growers will have a great selection of plants to grow. I
know I'm anxiously awaiting. Please keep the list informed about the
status of these long-awaited introductions.
Thanks,
Stefan Ploszak
