Simply amazing!

My ornatum 'Kikko's are far from being as striking as C&D amazing specimen - but a a nice plant anyway:

great plant robinast!, I think it's not much smaller than our plant, need to wait a bit for the flowers.
btw did you notice the flower of our plant is different from normal astros flowers? petal's shape and also colour (do not know if it can be seen in the photo but they are much pale yellow than ornatum for example).

I think it's not much smaller than our plant, need to wait a bit for the flowers.

It is, though - only three tubercle levels instead of your at least eight... Will teke several years before the flowers appear, I guess. My seedgrown ordinary ornatums started to flower on their 15th year of life, so...

It's difficult to see the difference in color - but the shape is different indeed.

our plant is that one with 'Carlo & Daniele' written on it, the other big plant is from Paolo Panarotto

I thought that you got this plant (not photo!) from Paolo Panarotto.... Then, your plant is not much bigger than mine indeed.

nooo he is the owner of the plant and the photo, actually its flowers are different from the one on our plant too
