I have been doing some name looking up to see if any of the seedlings I have actually have registered names (the labels that they came with just list the crosses).
I think I have most figured out, two seem to still be unregistered:
(Armeni White 'Tinto' x S. Gratrix 'Dazzler') and
(Raisin Jack 'Nice One' x argus 'Hilsea')
... and two I still have questions about... I also posted this on the other forum, but didn't get a very definitive response - if such a thing is possible, so I thought I would ask here as well, hoping that I could get answers or even opinions from the 'experts'!
The two plants in question are listed as crosses involving Paph.purpurescens.
One is (purpurescens ‘Pink Edge’ x charlesworthii ‘Wubben’) which is listed as Tinfire if I take purpurescens as a syn. of virens - or what seems to be given as javanicum var. virens, but is not listed under just javanicum.
The one I am really struggling with is (purpurescens x venustum var. pardinum) - now some sources just say that purpurescens is a syn. of javanicum, others say it is specifically javanicum var. virens which, to make things more confusing, seems to just be Paph. virens for registrations.
So, I guess I am really asking what is the correct syn. of purpurescens? Is it simply javanicum? If so, then the above cross is Schrat. However, if the purpurescens is actaully javanicum var. virens (or, rather, just virens) then the above cross is Venus Legend.
So, what is my little seedling???
