Jade Serpent and Mislabelled

17 years ago

Hi there - below is what was supposed to be San Remo, but I am pretty sure it is Pink Impression (not Pink Diamond - I've have that before and it's blooms are a different structure). What do you guys think?

Further down, some gorgeous Jade Serpents (sold in 3's at Garden Import in Canada). Isn't it delightful? More later!!

    Ooooh! I love them all! I just love them! The pink is luscious! And green, of course, is my favorite flower color! I wouldn't be too disappointed that the San Remo you were expecting turned out to be this glorious flower! The photo shows it off extremely well!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Wow! 'Jade Serpent' is gorgeous and playful. Thank you for sharing Anna. =)

    As for your beautiful mislabeled, could it be "Exposure"? Beautiful even if it ends up a NoID.

    Exposure, eh? Hmm, could very well be -and for sure it is lovely no matter what it is, that's why i don't usually complain. And, playful is a very good way to describe the JS blooms - funny, I didn't fully appreciate them until I saw the photographs. Of all the 2 Hadeco bulbs I got, JS performed the best. The others were Trentino and Alfresco - obviously tired and stressed from their long journey: Africa>Netherlands>Canada>myhouse. :)

    Anna...if you got your Jade Serpents from Garden Import, it's Africa>Canada>your house. They are direct importers from HADECO.

    DONCHA love those Jade Serpents? Lovely color, nice twirling petals, unusual but lovely flower form. Jade Serpent is also a good performer, growth wise. Once it gets established, you will have a potful of Jade Serpents. It also comes back and flowers with no problems. I have some seedlings of Jade Serpent crosses growing nicely now. I can't wait to see them bloom.

    Jade Serpent several months after planting the bulb way back in 2007.

    Nice little potful, there, Maria! All your bulbs seem willing to multiply readily for you! Your gardening skill is very impressive!

    I'm waiting to see Maria's "Driveway Collection", which will be a very large group gracing a paved area... once the weather is warm, I hope you'll consider taking new photos this year! I just loved seeing them all together last year!

    Hi Anna,

    I'll bet that you're happy that you purchased three Jade Serpents. They are truly beautiful!!! Good growing.

    Those of you who live in Canada are truly fortunate to have a direct importer for Hadeco bulbs.

    Cheers,

    Blanca

    Thanks Maria for the info, although I still think the bulbs were stressed a bit - one scape of Trentino withered and the bulbs just generally didn't look well. Alfresco's 2nd scape was only 2 inches, but bloomed as normal.

    Pumas: yes, usually there is a hint of feline in my pictures. Here is one of my favourite pictures, taken a couple of years ago, featuring my now dearly missed Mishka:
