I think anything crossed with G. dalenii ought to be beautiful. Please let us know how your hybrids turn out! By the way, I occasionally get questions about whether offsets of any of my hybrids are for sale. I don't sell them, but I'm happy to give them away. (Much of my collection came to me as gifts, so I'm returning the favor.) Just drop me a note privately. I'd also be happy to share through the BX, but I've always thought of that as a forum for exchanging species. But if there's a lot of interest I'd be glad to send some to the BX... Mike
