Christie,
I have looked at these pics a couple of times trying to figure out what you have. This one looks a bit different than P. maccus but I am having trouble putting my finger on why. It may actually be LDA 68, but I am not ready to commit to that ID. Let it settle in and grow a bit and take some more pics.

Thank you, Shane!
I'll definitely take more pictures of it (and post them here) as it grows. :)
