Lc. Brian Wheeler ‘Grandson’ AM/AOS - Reliable Early Winter Flowers

[K-Sci]

Edit: I tried to edit the title of this thread to correct a labeling error. This plant is C. Betty Ford 'York', rather than Lc. Bryan Wheeler 'Grandson'. If a mod would be so kind as to change the name of the thread to match this post, it would be appreciated.

I'm more a species collector, but this deeply colored hybrid with slight splash on the petals has flowered every year like clockwork for many years. It is one of my favorites. Divided in early 2021, this year it has 24 bulbs with three flowering leads and six flowers. The flairs on the tips of the petals are hardly noticeable this year. They were much larger last year.

Thank you for your comments!


I could easily be wrong, but IIRC you were one of two people who marveled at how clean the pot was on this and my C. Betty Ford 'York' when I posted a photo of them 6-8 months ago. It turns out that the reason the terracotta pots looked so new is that they don't sweat. Not sure why.

If I'm remembering wrong consider this an 'oops'.

Funny mix up.

I'm also really liking that little yellow phal in the background, I've been looing for something that looks like that.
