A few interesting blooms...and peaches!

11 years ago

This was named after the breeder's sister. HUGE blooms!

This is an interesting cross...it says Lemon LIme x Orange, but I am thinking it may be a Lemon Lime x Papilio....although all tags were carefully transported with bulbs.

This is my lone Gervase from an old bulb. At least it bloomed! It's a conjoined twin and quite attractive and an odd sort of way!

One of the young frogs has come out of hiding!

And....only 2 more months til peaches are ripe!!

Your first two flowers are pretty nifty, I love them both!! Conjoined Gervase is lovely, the petals are nicely arranged!

Peaches look amazing, from someone who has yet to see a daffodil bloom around here...

I have to agree with Donna your Gervase is really quite nice. I think I prefer it this way.

Wow that Gervase is Gorgeous! Wished mine bloomed like that. Was that a cross of Gervase and something else or your Gervase just bloomed like that?

Jesse, sometimes 2 blooms are joined together, so it has all the parts of 2 blooms. It usually blooms like a regular 6-petaled bloom. This is an older bulb...and it has been normal in the past and will likely be normal in the future.

Beautiful flowers, thank you for sharing Kristi. I love the first one, I think it is fantastic, I'd be over the moon if I'd ever be able to produce something like it.

I am going to guess that it may be a Papilio x Amigo cross, but don't hold me to it. I'll try and get out and measure blooms (they are just about 9"). We are having pouring rain.
