    Dunno what kind of acro this is. It's like a pinky color skeleton with greenish yellow polyps. When I look at it I get the feeling that it is actually faded. Also some branches are starting to die I think. You can see it in the pic. Does anyone know what kind of acro this is? I have a faded GARF Bonsai in my mind... it's the closest one I could find that looks somewhat similar to mine. what do you guys think?

    I agree its faded. GARF bonsai would be a good guess but so many acros get grouped under that name. Congratulations on the first acro though! Hopefully it colors up for you a bit more and we can get a definitive ID on it.
