Hi Group
Attached two photographs of siblings. Just goes to show anything is
possible when breeding interspecific's! I am waiting for a third plant's
flowers to open, it will be interesting to see what it will be! I have
two more of the same cross that are not showing any signs of flowering
yet. Cross was done in 2005.
The orange flowers were darker with a large amount of green going on
bronze until I brought it into the house. The yellow one remained the
same colour.
Pollen parent = Yellow Miniata from Daan Dekker
Seed parent = (Orange miniata cross Gardenii blush) x (orange miniata x
orange Gardenii) (Quite a normal looking orange Miniata / Gardenii
interspecific.)
I have now sibling crossed the two plants, selfed some of the flowers
and out crossed the rest with various yellow to red interspecific's. One
flower on the orange I/S was also crossed with my best bronze miniata.
Now the wait begins!!
