| Here it is this time last year. It's on a stock with two others of its supposed ilk. They are all very different, I'd heard something about its natural hybrid origin. I can see both of the parents in them all, but way less of schmiedickeanus/klinkerianus. I don't think either parent has that dark purple colour like the one on top, it is more like valdeziana. Even the pectinatus v. rubriflorus is more pinkish/red than purple.   " border="0" alt="" /> |

| I don't know how I managed to miss these pics... Crypto, your turbs are incredible. The striping on the petals is exquisite. |
