Thanks all,

Very nice Gary. It looks like Summit?

Mike, Summit?

OOOOUU You fibbed Gary! You said on my Cat thread you didn't do Cats!

'Flash in the pan' Rick, wish I could claim to be able to repeat the show with another. Another of my flowering shadecloth

I think he is referring to clone 'Summit' that has an FCC and it is though to be a hybrid from what others tell me.

Thanks all,

Yes its hard to say. Maybe maybe not?
As for it being a hybrid, that's always possible but I cant imagine with what. It always flowers exactly the same time as my othere 2 perivaliana clones and nothing else is really out then. I hope it's not!

It has the clonal name 'Alberts' , sorry I should have included that in my post, but the tag was tucked deeply into the basket and difficult to get to, I could just 'spy' the percival..... part of it, and did not bother to go and find a forceps to extract the tag to read the whole of it

That's a beautiful big plant Gary.:clap:

I agree, bravo Gary!!!! Jean

I have 'Summit' (a division of the original, not a meristem) and I've had 'Alberts'. This clone did not strike me as 'Summit'. Yes, it looks like 'Alberts' and I'm sure that the clonal name on Gary's tag is correct. C. percivalliana 'Summit' FCC/AOS has much wider petals than 'Alberts'. Plus, as can be seen in Gary's photo, the 'Albert's clone has very saturated colour.....that is much richer than Summit's colour.

Also, I've never heard before today that anyone thought 'Summit' was a hybrid. I can't disagree with that more. IMO, there is no way 'Summit' is a hybrid. Other than being an exceptionally good show quality flower, virtually everything about it: colour hue, colour pattern, proportions, plant growth habit, flower habit, flower number, flower and plant size, bloom time, plus that particular percivalliana fragrance, tell me that 'Summit' is 100% pure percivalliana. I'd be interested in knowing just how much experience the nay-sayers have had with growing different clones of percivalliana, including the 'Summit' clone.
