Common names are confusing so I don't use them. I believe some consider G.porteri to be simply a different color phase of G.rosea, while others consider them an entirely different species. I think it's still inconclusive however. Basically G.porteri is the normal color phase while G.rosea is the red color phase.</p></blockquote><p></p>
