The pups look a lot like diffusa as far as their tuft formations go (usually bald on the outside with fluff in the centres [giving it a real 'dumpling' appearance IMO] - only seems to be the case at a certain age though and probably isnt a good indicator), however the largest button looks fairly williamsii to me and the colour confirms that (diffusa are a yellow-green, williamsii [and the others] tend to be a green-grey).

Without seeing the flowers (needed to be sure on the ID) I'd say L. williamsii. Gorgeous too!

Edit: If you are trying to import it from anywhere overseas, I think you'll run into quite a few probs as it is a prohibited import (from memory). Hit the SE (and the Customs website) before laying any $ on the table if it is to be an import.

Might also be worth mentioning that QLD has changed its laws recently and all lophs are prohibited.

In japan at the moment, and wanted something special around me.

Much appreciated anyway.
