Unknown phrag hybrid

[monocotman]

this was bought as MDC x Jason Fischer from Regina Elsner as an imported seedling from the USA but I have my doubts.
There looks to be a dose of schlimii in there somewhere, it maybe close to Cape Sunset.
The plant is very vigorous and looks to have plenty of longifolium in there. There must also be some besseae.

The main issue is that the flowers are both a bit cupped. Not sure whether this is just temporary or not.


Any ideas on the parentage?

I suspect you are correct and that it's not properly labeled. I don't have any additional insights on ID or parentage, but the foliage is very similar to a typical Phrag. Eric Young, so I would lean towards the P. longifolium parentage as well as besseae. I suppose I see some P. schlimii influence in it, too.

I have no idea about what crosses might be in
this plant, but I like it anyway even if the blooms
are slightly cuppy. The color is lovely.

Yay besseae hybrids! It's definitely a hybrid with Eric Young in its background.

Peruflora's Spirit maybe.

It's a beautiful bloom, shame about the wrong name

Both spikes have opened a second flower.

Still cupped but a decent show now.
Littlefrog, I don’t think the flowers are quite big enough for a kovachii hybrid.

Beautiful any way
