Sabrina,

How beautiful :-))) Thank you for sharing :-)))

Very beautiful!! One of my favorites!!

I love the angles you captured. Very nice pictures and a great cultivar!

Beautiful! I wonder why it’s xalled tres chic? Is it the color, the shape and the ??

One of my favorites, very elegant!

Could it be a play on words? Tres could be be a play on the three distinct color zones although it is also very chic in my opinion. I don't have one yet as no seeds I have ever tried with Tres Chic as a parent have germinated for me. It seems a dead end for my goals.

thanks guys :)

Thanks :-) I thought it was Spanish !

I thought it was even more clever if it were word play in 2 languages haha

I thought it means very chic, like tres bon means very good, who knows?

I suspect my "sofia" will turn out to be a spotlight instead from what I can see, will wait for the flower to open completely, I believe that will be tomorrow

best regards everyone!

HI ! Yes , 'très chic' is french and means very elegant , stylish :-)

What do you think? Spotlight?

I dunno, kinda looks like Picasso?

I went back to the RC web and you're probably right

Not Sofia..

But it is pretty!

I totally agree :-))) and I should have mentioned that too :-))))

Thanks :) I really like it, but would have preferred Sofia since I have two picoteés.

now my next dilemma.. should I contact RC? There is after all over 4€ difference in price from Picasso to Sofia... what would you do??

Yes, I would tell them although they don't guarantee you to get the right variety when you order. But they should know.

I wrote to Paul yesterday, I also thought he should know, I'm waiting for another persons Sofia to bloom to confirm, but as of now it seems everyone who ordered Sofia got Picasso instead

I see flowers in my future :) so happy for the rebloomers

very surprised at this cybister.. 2nd year with me, will ask you guys for id on this one, i think it's lima or lapaz, but not sure

and another of picasso

have a nice weekend everyone!

Wow! Your cybister with the three scapes is a beast! Looking forward to seeing it flower!

Very nice! For me it is the best time of the year with this hobby when I discover a new bud almost every day :-)))

Sabrina,

Just gorgeous flowers!! Your Picasso is most beautiful and your Mom's Gervase says it all!!! Looking forward to seeing the rest when they bloom and.. a second year cybister with 3 scapes, unbelievable!!! We can't wait to see it!! Did it bloom last year?

Donna

Sabrina - looking forward to seeing a pic of the flowering cybister! And your mom's Gervase is very beautiful!

This was her march 2017 Donna, and I think she had two scapes (or was there a third after?) I had so much going on at the time I'm not sure...

13 tips/scapes and counting Anja ;) I find myself checking every day

Carl, JL I'm also very much looking forward to it :)

have a great day!

Thanks Sabrina, she was lovely!! I'm sure that this year she will surpass all expectations!!

Do you have a guess on the id?

I have no idea on the id but I haven't seen many cybister in person. It somehow matches the picture of La Paz on Emaryllis but it looks different ´from the La Paz I know... It is very beautiful and I bet that someone here can id it for you!

Well, I would say it was purchased as either La Paz or Tango which the general consensus on this forum is.. that they are one and the same, hence the nickname LaPango!! There is a thread about a year ago on this very subject that you might want to look up, Either way, you are in for a real treat!

Also, last year as well as this year, Royal Colors sold a new cybister named Mystica but I don't think that's what this is unless it's a very very pale one, but you never know!

Looking forward to seeing this year's flowers!

Donna

I like that ruffling in your March 2017 photo. I hope this year she is a stunner for you. :)

I'm pretty sure that it's not Mystica. It looks different and Mystica is not a strong grower, at least not in my growing conditions. It has only one scape. Here's a picture to compare.

Yep, you're right, we'll go back to the La Paz/Tango theory. ;-))

I don't think it's mystica either, I bought a mystica from RC last year and it never bloomed, doesn't look like it's gonna this year either, maybe it'll surprise me in the spring.

This cybister I bought here in Mallorca for 4,95€ and it was labelled as fresh lemon, let's see how it looks this year, although i'm tending more to la paz (love la pango :D) since it looks quite different from another Lima I've seen posted here (is it beatrice's post)

Paul got back to me on the "not Sofia" and he agreed it's either picasso or picotee, but didn't specify wich.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
