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!!

Regards

Hi Ian, Do you know if either or both of the orange miniata involved in the crosses from which you mother plant was bred were split for yellow? If so, then an...
