It's been outside for the Summer -- range 40ºF to +90ºF. Now it's inside where it get to about 65 at night and about 72 during the day. I water my Phrags 2x per week.

I'm pretty sure that "Winter Sun" is a flavum. Hence the yellow on this hybrid. I have a couple of others with the same name, and they are both yellow. This one has the most red on it.

If besseae 'Winter Sun' is a flavum, shouldn't it read besseae v. flavum 'Winter Sun'? Perhaps it wasn't written on the tag, but it can make things a but confusing if accruate names are not used. Not that it's your fault, just saying. Nice flower anyway, though.

Maybe the assumption was that everyone knows that Winter Sun is a flavum?

Probably, I should fix the tag, although I generally like to leave the tag as is, and maybe make a note on my list.

I, personally, have never heard of besseae 'Winter Sun'. By the name, though, it doesn't shout bright red, so I guess one could assume it's a flavum. And never assume anything. There are many beginners here, and not all of us are 'experts' either, so the more info the better!

Well, I was talking about the person who made the cross/tag, that they might have thought everyone knew that Winter Sun was a flavum. I did not have in nind folks here on this forum when I made that statement.

Try a google with "Phrag besseae Winter Sun" and see what you get.

I like the subtle coloration.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to that, but meant it as a general statement that it is always good to include as much info as possible. There is also the possiblility that 'Winter Sun' is a cross of a flavum with a regular besseae, right? Has this been done before? Then, you couldn't call it a flavum, but it would still be pale.
