Looks great, so you were not lucky and get one of the yellow flowerin Aki X kentu Hybrids, but I like the shape, mine will not flower this year, no flower there. Maybe next year.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Looking good Dieter. The Aki x kentuckiense cross is a new one for me. Where did you get your hotei? It looks a bit different from most I've seen.

......... Where did you get your hotei? It looks a bit different from most I've seen.

Tom, it is in cultivation here in Germany for about 50 years , and I got this plant some years ago.

normally it is of somewhat deeper color and more open.
maybe its too cool (or whatever the rason might be )

lets see what happens next days...........
cheers

Yes, it was the pale color that put me off a bit. It is neat to hear this is a old line of plants kept in Germany for so long.

Lots of variation within this form, in fact one has to remember the concept of this variety is just a larger flowered form of C. macranthos that tend to be also darker in color. If memory serves genetic analysis has shown no significant difference between these plants and other C. macranthos within Japan (v. speciosum) nor those on the Asian continent. Certain forms of C. tibeticum are near spitting images of v. hoteiatsumorianum - every bit as lovely and much cheaper!

Love your C. farreri - one of my favorites of the entire genus, hybrid or otherwise.

Nice flowers and pics as well.

I was one week away.

And my montanum X tibeticum was saying goodbye, my wife was watering to much, and it was gone, must have an infection before.

Like yours...

Hey Dieter,

I really like your first clone of C. parviflorum - very nice form and color - a cut above. That Pixi however is a sad looking thing - too bad, the nice ones are amazing.
