Neo. ID for 'NPS'

19 years ago

Hi all,

I once received a bonus plant from Tropiflora that is a neo., simply labeled 'NPS'.

Does anyone have an explanation for the letters?

Or can you ID the plant from the photos? Looks as if it's a species plant,similar to neo. pendula,and some of its crosses,but larger. Was'nt much to look at when it first arrived about 2 years ago,but has developed well since. Almost in bloom now,and a foot tall,and has a stolen coming off on the right.

I guess thats what I like about Bob, he has moments like I do. Thats a nice looking plant. The Neo. rosea I received from Michaels is starting to blush. My wife thought it was dying. The others from the group are all coloring up too.

I had to water tonight and I was just amazed at the color those plants are taking on. I'm going to take some new photos this week. I'll post a few when I get a chance. The Daylilys are starting to bloom, so for now its 3 or 4 hours a morning taking photographs, evaluating seedlings, and hybridizing.

Don't beat yourself up, Bob! If that is a Neo. pendula seedling then it's definitely a hybrid with something else, so as appealing as that explanation is, I'm not sure that's what NPS means.

Nice pink spiny?

Bob,

I would say Neo. 'Pink Spider' as I have one myself.

Neo. 'Pink Spider' is a cross of pendula x eleutheropetal.

And is not what NPS means according to Tropiflora
