Hi Susan,

I was finally able to get my hands on a Black Magic EE. I gave one to my friend last year. Mine didn't make it and hers took off, eventhough she does not do anything to hers not even water. I was able to get four good sized pups and I left her four. Thinking about it I should have taken all of the pups and potted them up. I still would like an Illustrias. My African Mask has already gone dormant, or I gave it too much water. I have it in the house. My Black EE tends to not look like a Black Magic but when I compared the pups to my Black ones in water they look to be the same or mine is a hybrid of the Black maybe.
