Shocked

Wow, it's like an astro flower... mated with a Mardi Gras parade! I'm really impressed.

Is this one of your own hybrids?

I am glad you like. It was just an unusual plant from a batch of Koehres seed

That's awesome. Did you get a chance to pollinate it with something else?

I tried to pollinate a few times but I think the plant is infertile. I have found that about 80% of the red flower plants I have grown are infertile. Oh well.
