Thanks so much for checking into this Greg @gg5! Glad that one is solved!

Me too!! ATP (Garden.org) has a reputation with him and probably Young's also, for wanting things labelled correctly! So am glad he was responsive!

I received an order from SMG today! Top Notch as always. Thanks, Don!
In that order was "Zelda".
I already have "Proud Zelda", purchased from Mt. Crest last summer.
This plant currently looks very different from P.Z.
I'm going to monitor both, I even planted them next to each other. The new plant might look vastly different after it acclimates to this area. But now they look nothing alike.
I'll post a few images tomorrow.

Great way to experiment and see what the differences might be Terri.

Terri yes please do post photos. I feel like Proud Zelda is distinct in its shape and that coloration

I will post the photos.
I know it may take a bit for this girl to settle in, so I think I should photograph at least weekly to monitor the changes.
Do you think weekly photos is frequent enough?

Waiting for a break in the rain to photograph.

Thunder and lightning, very, very frightning......C'mon you know you want to sing now!

Here are the images:

Gee, Proud Zelda looks beautiful already! Zelda looks like it was grown either under different conditions or somewhere else in the nursery...it needs to do catch-up.

Spot on. She just traveled from the PNW to live here in WV with me.
PZ has been here since last summer.
I plan on photographing this new plant through her changes.
Can't wait to see what she does!
I would rather have her be PZ than another noid!

Terri if it turns out different from your PZ, it will then be Zelda and we can let Don know...But to me they look similar enough to probably be the same plant!

Groovy either way!

Thanks for starting/adding to this thread Chris and Terri, as coincidently, I was overhauling my small collection and see that I have a problem:
After the big house move I had two pots that I thought to be Proud Zelda (actually offsets of long gone mother hen). I had labeled them both PZ but wasn't sure why they didn't look alike so I went and got Proud Zelda from Lynn (the labeled pot) and put them together to see if they even remotely matched. I know one is bigger than the verified and other suspect but I do remember the offsets being of different sizes before the big move...What do you think?

The suspects:


Closer look at verified PZ and suspect #1


Closer look at verified PZ and suspect #2

I think suspect #1 could be PZ, but I have my doubts about suspect #2.

I agree with Chris. But it could be because of lack of sun.

Thanks ladies...I think I will keep them close together to monitor them too.

I agree with Lynn that it could be lack of light, but once they are growing in same location, they should match up pretty quickly!

Updated photos.
I printed an ID for Zelda. It should help as I document any changes.

Keep us posted Terri.

I will Lynn.
I think it'll be interesting to see the changes as she acclimates.
I can see the slight changes already.
