Named in honor of my mom - fowliei x godefroyae v. leucochilum, 1st of 9 to bloom!

This a cross by our own Ross (Paphreek). Ross donated 6 seedlings & the priviledge of naming the cross to our 2010 auction which I won!

Wow, the godefroyae is very dominant!

 

[NYEric]

Not bad. I have to see if I have one of those.

 

[W. Beetus]

Great cross! I like your choice of name, also.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice indeed. Is this one of Ross's crosses?

I'm going to wait to give clonal names, this one is not fitting my mom. It will be interesting to see a 2nd time blooming as it has it's faults but considering the summer we've had I'm pleased! The family affair will continue here, I think there's another in low, low bud.

This one has better form than most that I have bloomed, so far. Well done, Rose! I have some in low bud, so we'll see how they compare in a month or so.

Thanks Ross! I'll look forward to the comparisons. That was the 1st pic of yours that I found yet I thought I could remember you posting a pic of one that was pretty similar to this one. Is my memory is messin' with me again!?

It may be the only one I've posted a picture of.
