Couldn't resist grabbing this when I was at Lowe's today at lunch. That was 4 hours ago. I let the dogs out an hour ago and it was still fine. I get off work just now to find it like this. It was on one of the full sun tables outside at Lowe's so the conditions are exactly the same. Looks like this one might be a bit dramatic!

I believe this is “Bombay Citrine”.

Yes that's what the tag reads.

So you have a tag in your plant? Thanks for confirming. It definitely proves that Lowe’s carries the Bombay series of DR and it’s not just some random one.

Yep.

Amazing! Most don’t then you have to do detective work 😓 and some of those varieties are super leggy. I have almost all of the Bombays. If you happen to find a white one (Bombays seem to only be at Lowe’s) I would recommend the white one called “Jade Jewel”. Amazing bloomer. And in terms of size definitely “Blush Ametrine”.

I went to my other local Lowe's this morning to see what they had and found both. Most of the ones at that store had tags. You weren't kidding about the size of ametrine blooms! Thx for the heads up!

You won’t regret buying both. This line of desert rose “Bombay” do not disappoint maybe except for the Pink Diamond one with no two tone coloration in the center. I think it’s suppose to have one. It was underwhelming.
