'Copper Tone' in bloom!

17 years ago

Last week, a best friend 'Edie' brought me this plant for my crossing work.

Yesterday, it started blooming.

Stephania-
Your pictures are always fantastic! I hope to see my young 'Coppertone' with a bloom like that someday. I think 'Coppertone' is one of the most beautiful Sans. What are you crossing it with??

Hi Woodnative, I've tried to cross it with other two, San. 'Midnight Fountain'

And this guy, San. sp. aff ballyi that I got from EXOTICA in Germany.

Also one of my favorite San. aff. robusta complex from Yemen
which we call a nickname 'Samurai' is going to bloom.

I've never seen any thing like whats in you last pictures. I have been to that nursery. What an experience.
I separted my 'Copper Tone' today, I noticed that it grows differently, lots of feeder roots, but no rhizomes that wrap around the pot, the nodes are short in-between each rosette. I don't know what to make of it. Any input from the rest of you. What has been your experience with this plant? Norma
