Waunakee Sunset x fischeri

[littlefrog]

I suspect this is Tom Kalina's cross? Can't find a name for it. Waunakee Sunset 'Pale Rider' x fischeri "Fox Valley". First bloom, quite a small plant. I like the colors (photo is pretty close to what I see with my eyes). Petals are a touch wonky but that might be fischeri. I'm sure it will improve with a second blooming.

Can't say I'm familiar with the 'Pale Rider' clone, have a picture, Tom?

I do. Nice first bloom, but I would have expected a lighter color, although the P. fischeri parent was pretty dark.

Love the shades of color that blend so well. I never over-worry about the shape of a first bloom unless it's really
awful. Phrags just improve with age.
