  1. Does anybody have any information on N. tabularis "Peach fl." ? I have two of these plants and the information I have is that this plant is descended from 3 unusual seedlings from a sowing of normal N. tabularis. The body is almost exactly the same as tabularis, with the spination being much stronger. If I had to guess I would say there is some member of the Herterianae mixed in there somewhere.
