Plant
- Description
- Another example of this is found in my "Rama," which is a cross between the difficult B. acida and B. "Reichenheimi." The plant is easy to grow and contains much of the delightful puckering that makes acida an interesting plant. The all green leaf of acida has become flushed lightly with red as is B. "Reichenheimi's." The small flowers of B. acida have become large like B. "Reichenheimi's" but contain little of "Reichenheimi's" pink coloring. Like its half-sister, "Kumwha," "Rama" is virtually ever blooming, a characteristic which we would seem to have to credit to B. "Reichenheimi." - Don Horton
