I don't remember where I got this plant, if I purchased it or if it came in a plant trade. I wonder if it could be A. forbesii, that name kinda rings a bell. I've bee looking at a few sites and I read somewhere (but now can't find the page) that the young buds of A. forbesii are yellow, turning to the coral color with age.
