Primary fairrieanum hybrids. :wink:
First to bloom from two flasks (deflasked 29/5/13)

Thats really attractive with the very heavy spotting. What are the parents?

 

[troy]

Thats a fast blooming!!! Good pedigree!!!!

Nice primary fairrieanum hybrids always have pretty uniformly nice shape. I made fair backround complex using Irish llullaby and giantstone. Very uniform nice ahape from fair. The petal width a little weak but that is to be expected. So traded a little petal width for uniformity. Be nice to Breed on with.

really cool.

I have to say I like it. Only problem I see is a short stem. What is the cross? Maybe the stem will be longer in other seedlings depending on what the other parent is. I do find it to be a cutie.

Looks really good. Hopefully you can post siblings when they bloom.

Fairrieanm x ???? = ????. Gotta love isn't the name of the plant...

fairrieanum x Ice Galaxy

Two years from flask so I probably shouldn't have let this little guy bloom. I expect the stem to be much better on the next blooming.

 

[SlipperFan]

fairrieanum x Ice Galaxy would not be a primary hybrid. Primary is only if both parents are species. This is a complex hybrid.

Lovely, good texture.

I like this. Super fast from seedling to bloom. Well done!

I presume we are looking at fairrieanum x Icy Galaxy (a complex with a LOT of Brachy). There is no registered hybrid called Ice Galaxy.

Definitely a complex hybrid then, so best described as a fairrieanun F1 hybrid rather than a fairrieanum primary. If it is capable of greater stem length that is probably going to have to come from the fairrieanum side of the family. The flower itself could hardly be more satisfying as a very-fairrie hybrid.
