(edit from original - I was going to do a HotD for Arctic Blast but decided to simply edit this old topic - November 10, 2014)
I was working on some potted ones today and noticed the correct tag for this one is missing. The tag in the pot said Tortilla Chip. I seem to remember the name had something to do with "cold".

Thank you Paul. That's what it is. I won it last year at Hosta College.

Arctic Blast is a cross of 'Komodo Dragon' x 'Elvis Lives' - an interesting plant with pointy rippled leaves.

Here's a recent pic (in bloom) of ours. The pic is a little dark, as we were about to have one of our big storms blow through.
