Maybe. I do know for sure that they are very different from each other. Both are in 4" pots growing right next to each other in the same soil mix, same light, etc.... I purposely waited to plant anywhere else just so that I may compare.

Definitely different semps.

I checked mine today. It is mostly green, lost most of the "fur" and the tufts. It now looks like a very different plant from the pic I posted above, but has remained small. Mine are just over an inch.

With Sandi's very high altitude it could bring that change on much earlier than our would?

Sandi and all,
My Niphetos is starting to turn now took these pic this morning 10/22/2013
will take another in Nov.

Let's keep this thread going Cliff. Once we have photos for winter and spring we should be able to tell if it is correct or not.
I really look forward to seeing how it develops.

Hooray! Those look really nice Cliff! Since this thread was started I was motivated to get this one! We'll see how it does!

They are looking great, and promising.

Here's a couple of pics of mine from about 2 weeks ago. Not the best pics, I'll try again.

Niphitos in October

Here is my Niphetos this morning. It is going to look a little different in coloration and form. It has been in a shallow tray under the roof of our deck.
I think it is time to put it out in one of the beds.

Who is your source Lynn?

Erwin Geiger.
But we do have to remember that some of these can be affected in appearance, depending on growing conditions, within certain limits.

This is my first year with this one, so I look forward to observing the changes in the different seasons.
We all need to keep taking photos for comparison before coming to a decision.

Can I send you both of my Niphetos for comparison?

Sure. I can grow them side by side.

OK groupies

Ursuline does not look correct. Here is what it should look like. It has fairly heavy cilia lining the leaf edges, and a different form.

Nice photos Cliff. Where did you get your Niphetos from?
Your Ursuline is lovely, even in her winter attire.

Lynn
Thanks,
i got both those plants(N & U) from Youngs Garden in summer of 2012 . I do believe the Ursuline is the right one the way it is turning.
