besseae

Okay. This isn't a bad thing, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think there's some dalessandroi involved in this plant's past. I'd love to hear some discussion if that's alright with Ayreon.

In my experience, dal. has a lot more of the fenestres than straight besseae, and as Jason said, I've never seen that much in a straight besseae.

Also, the petals curl more than besseae usually does. It made me wonder...
It's a FABULOUS flower. If that's what bess. x dal. can yield, people should start making way more Phrag. Jersey's, if you ask me! I'd buy it in a split second!

I wondered about that too, but I haven't seen enough dalessandrois to really be able to speculate. I'm guessing that whatever the case may be, there won't be any way to know for sure.

How about just declaring it to be a SlipperTalk fact #2619905 and waiting for a taxonomist to come along?
