I am hoping for clarification...I'm confused with the taxonomy of a couple of Phrag. hybrids. The hybrid I'm trying to understand is Inca Fire. My photos of its blossoms and my photos of my Mem. Dick Clements look almost identical. I went to PhragWeb for answers...and found:
Mem. Dick Clements = sargentianum x besseae. And now sargentianum is classified as lindleyanum var. sargentianum.
Inca Fire = Andean Fire x besseae, and Andean Fire = lindleyanum x besseae
Does that mean that Andean Fire and Mem. Dick Clements are the same? Or are they different based on the variety of lindleyanum used? Because then I got thinking about my Jason Fischer (which looks very different than those above) yet it is Mem. Dick Clements x besseae.
I purchased a dozen phrags. from a supposedly reputable national grower a few years back. At least two were mislabelled and he replaced them...one more bloomed and is obviously not what it was labelled. One of my Mem. Dick Clements and my only Inca Fire also came in that batch. How in the world can I determine (or can I) if I have more mislabelled plants or if Inca Fire and Mem. Dick Clements really do look almost identical??
HEEELLLLPPP!!!
