It is. I just got it last year and was doing fine. It dried out a little too
much this winter.

I would have expected some flaring on the petals (only because var aquinii
is the mother of all splash petals...) But hey, maybe 'Boa Vista' is the
clone that came out not splashed and so that's its claim to fame..... I
should Google this...

I think you're right. I haven't seen any aquinii without the flaring on any
website. This lip is real dark and very nice. Thanks Kathy

the wrong time.

Well I went back and Googled it and 'Boa Vista' *does* have flaring on the
petals.... Very much so. So now I wonder about yours. Not that it isn't
'Boa Vista' but just that in the mericloning process yours may have had a
genetic change. (???? I'm just speculating)

The only thing to do is to go back to the vendor (if possible) and ask. Or
contact someone knowledgable about catts and ask. I'm always amazed what
vendors know about their product. For example There is a catt called George
King 'Serendipity' that been mericoned and widely sold. As I understand it,
in the meristemming process there was a change and George King 'Southern
Cross' resulted. Just a slightly differnt color than the salmon (of course
I can't recall what color it is now...grr). BUt nevertheless thee was a
nice difference to the plant. Which may be true of your plant.

If the vendor asks to buy it back you may have a choice item on your hands,
*G*
