Below is a photo of my smallest Fukurin. It is grown from seed harvested from a Zhu Jifu plant. Over the past 10 years that I have been growing Zhu Jifu broad leaves I noticed that a small % of the seedlings are dwarfs and/or miniatures. This is due to the dwarf gene found in many of Mr Zhu's plants when he developed miniatures from his short leaf variegated plants. It is not as small as my mini clivia miniature. The flower next to it is larger than an average size clivia. The other photo is of a super miniata seedling. It's second leaf is almost 5cm wide. From the looks of it, it looks like it will also develop in a type of miniature. Its background is Heng Lan.
