longifolium x schlimii
Oh, another one of those "it fell off the plant in the gh" deals?! Sweet! oke:The only problem is this one came from a piece that was knocked off another plant in the greenhouse and I found it directly under his awarded Sedenii..
"Glen does not have a Cardinale."
Ron: IMHO, he does now. His awarded Sedenii is a Cardinale, or at least, a Cardinale x Sedenii. That's just not a pure Sedenii (longifolium x schlimii). I'm not surprized to learn that the "Sedenii" that his division came from, was awarded. A lot of awarded Sedenii's are either Cardinale or a Cardinale hybrid, or, on the other side of the breeding spectrum, they are Calurum (Sedenii x longifolium), or a Calurum hybrid. It seems that since Sedenii has been around for a million years, some people got tired of true Sedenii not being as good as it's progeny; or, some people simply lost tags and carelessly stuck "Sedenii" in the pot because is seemed close. Bottom line: if there are no vestigial horns on the side of the pouch, it's not pure Sedenii; but, it's got more schlimii in there...either by crossing Sedenii with schlimii (= Carlinale), or by crossing Sedenii with Cardinale, increasing the schlimii shape content and dampening the longifolium influence.
