Dracula chimaera

Dracula chimaera is the second dracula species that I bought to try out:



I already have Dracula lotax(considered as warmth tolerant) since last October and it is doing fine. I mean it didn't bloom or anything, but it is still alive and growing some new shots. I got Dracula chimaera in March from Ecuagenera too, but this one is marked as a cool grower, so I expected it to die, so I would know to stay away from all the cool growers.
Well, it didn't. As a matter of fact it started to grow a new shot too:



Probably the fact that basement where it lives doesn't go above 18C creates environment cool enough for Dracula chimaera. We'll see if it ever blooms.
