Names, please!

Those both look a lot like some things I have but the likelyhood of that is slim to none unless somebody's been raiding my stash.

BTW, whereabouts are you?

Pink one is a royal burgandy triple cross-no name
other one is Red Bands
Galveston Island

I see you working, HDD. Fabulous colors, love the high contrast red with lime, but I'm partial to pink as well. I could admire more pix, if you have them.

When you say "triple cross", do you mean it's a (something x something) x something, and one of the somethings is 'Royal Burgundy'? If so, that would also apply to one I did that looks just like that, but I've never released it so somebody else has obviously been working along the same lines. That's okay, it's just good to know these things, and too bad it doesn't have a name. Would you happen to know what the other somethings are?

'Red Band' is 'Avalon' x johannis, so that may or may not be the same one pictured in Baensch's book under the name johannis x 'Avalon' (p. 129). Looks pretty similar but there are a lot of hybrids that will band like that in some climates and not in others. Every time I buy something that looks like that on the mainland and bring it back here it loses it and turns solid red unless we have some cool winter nights. That is one instance where people in more temperate regions have an advantage over us here, but we're working on that one too!

Lisa I was told it was Pink Sensation X RB X Princeps and it is yours. I picked it up when I went to visit Micheal earlier this year. I love the plant looks like pink bubbles :). The pup I just took off mom is true to color too.

Really? Hmmmm...... no, not mine, unless I've had a memory lapse. That does sometimes happen, I really should write this stuff down! ;-)

I've done quite a few with (PS x RB), AKA 'Treasure Chest', including one that looks a whole lot like this, but I'm pretty sure Michael doesn't have any of them yet and I don't recall that being one of them anyway, unless maybe it was a cull or something. I'd better check out the invoices just in case, but things do get lost in translation sometimes.

Maybe Sharon Petersen did it? I'm planning to run over there sometime soon and see if I can get some goodies from her, so I'll see what I can find out.

Hmmmmm I sure thought he said it was yours I know I didnt get all of yours I wanted in that trip...couldnt carry any more LOL. Sharon Petersen has some nice stuff too...I have several of hers as well again not as many ar I would like. Hard to get plants from over there to here and ummmm do it... legal

Yeah, CA, AZ, TX and LA are on the no-no list as far as bringing or shipping from here, unless you're a cerified nursery, which we're not. That's why the Michael's thing worked out, since FL is not a certified state. Now, though, we don't ship anywhere anymore, so the only way he's going to get any of my newer ones is if I can get somebody like Sharon to ship them for me. That's a possibility, but I think he's probably about due for a vacation so maybe he'll come back over. Hopefully I can get my place cleaned up first!

Lisa,thats a great idea. I talked to Micheal yesterday, he just returned from Costa Rica. He and Ray make a couple trips a year there. He is about to start work on the new catalog. Maybe some of my I want list will be in it.
