Very striking!! What was that cross again, papilio x Red Lion?

Dramatic shape and colours!

I love it.

Striking!

I have a few seedlings left of papilio x Benfica and I'm hoping (if they ever bloom), they look just like your Dragon Bloods!! I had eight or so of them and after planting out in the ground a few summers ago I only could find 3 to bring in. Something has a good feast at my expense!
I learned my lesson as I lost others too and now when planting seedlings out in the ground for the summer I only use a whiskey barrel, the slugs and most bugs can find their way in. (narcissus bulb fly excluded of course)..

Thanks y'all. Isn't nature wonderful?

Sorry for the late reply!! I really like this cross. I have some crosses given to me by a lister of Red Pearl x Papilio. I hope that these seedlings give blooms that are somewhere near as nice as what you have produced.

Once again, nicely done Pat!

Stunning!!

Excellent.

Frankly I am not into single floweed types. But this one is just mesmorizing! Great job growing such a beauty.
