They're all nice! I'm liking the 2 hybrids, one can see the parents in both!
 
I wonder if it's really Jersey [besseae x dalessendroi] or not?

I'm not %100 sure... it was labelled a Phrag dalessandroi x sib (‘Echo’ x ‘Doug Pulley’), a cross from OZ. However this cross is supposed to have some besseae in it or something like that or it might just be a besseae...
 
Unfortunately, unless it blooms w/ the dalessndroi characteristics, yellow/orange inside 'flare', droopy petals, staminode beak, etc. you may never know w/out genetic testing. :(
 
Since dalessandroi still hasn't been upgraded to species status and so many hybrids are made with besseae var. dalessandroi (I am thinking also not all being registered either?)
would it be wrong to call it a besseae?
maybe one day I will have a real dalessandroi...
