Very exotic. Something I would expect to see growing on another planet in Star Trek. Not blue, that's for sure.

Mine is called 'Dark Beauty' - it pretty much matches the colour. Few flower buds - should see the first flower soon:)

Thanks all!

I have "Dark Beauty" almost in bloom too Kasy, so we'll see soon enough. One of the reasons that I tend to avoid cultivars really.............

Thanks for link M, not good news as I have quite a few Tricytis will have to to some checking.

Me too (although no longer have Raspberry Mousse). Stick to the spotty and plainer ones now and all seems good. More a case of better to be safe than sorry from my point of view.
Good news is that T.ishiana is now in bloom!
