Interesting that the 25% sukhakulii are a lot more visible than callosum in the other parents/grandparents!!! Jean

The callosum 'Jac' background also shows up in this flower, contributing to the spotting on the petals.

Good thing you couldn't resist posting it. Beautiful photos and flower. If I ever see it on a sales table, I sure won't resist buying it.

The German nursery that they come from still have them for sale. But I don't know if they ship to Canada and what the shipping cost would be.

My experience with these kinds of hybrid seedlings is that there will be a lot of variation in the flowers. Probably all quite nice, but not all quite like this one.

Very nice bloom!

I LOVE the spots on the petals. Fantastic!!!:clap:

Nice spotting. I find if you wait for the flower to mature much longer the ovary will straighten out and the flower will present itself nicely when you stake i, if you even need to.

Thanks for the info, I tried to find the name of the cross but had no luck finding it.

The cross is mentioned on this site:

I find the difference with their plants and mine quite stunning
