A famous mistake ... the Wilcox schlimii

Chuck · Jan 11, 2011

Phrag schlimii 'Wilcox' AM/AOS which is actually, as I am sure every one knows, a cardinale. In all fairness to the AOS judges who awarded the plant as a schlimii, the true species plant was extremely rare in cultivation at that time.

Superb specimen! :drool::drool::drool:

A very nice plant and flowers!!!

But again a mistake... I think some judges have really problems with their eyes...

Fantastic growing dude! As for the award, at least it wasn't a FCC! You should get a CCM for that if you want to pay for it:wink:

Yoyo_Jo · Jan 11, 2011

OMG Chuck!! That is fantastic! :drool::drool:

I assume we'll get to see this in person at the show in February???

It was a "long" time ago in the '70s, and schlimii was rare at that time. And I suppose that there were few pictures of schlimii or pictures were simply not easy to find.

Hey Joanne,

I don't know. If it's got enough blooms still. It's been in bloom for a while. Still seven weeks of so to go.

That is stunning and amazingly well grown. I have a division of 'Wilcox' and mine never blooms like that!
