Default Couple of Acquisitions from H&R Nurseries

Blooming in my greenhouse are two plants that I acquired from H&R Nurseries in Waimanalo a few years ago. Both plants are growing robustly in New Zealand Sphagnum Moss. The top photo is a C. walkeriana and the bottom photo is a C. violacea. I generally don't have very good luck growing these species but these two plants are the exception.

Great striations on those! What is the parentage of each, if I might ask?

Good growing.

The first photo I would guess to be a C walkeriana tipo x semi-alba 'Puanani'

From the second photo, I would guess the cross is C. violacea 'Aki' x C violacea 'Miriam Rosa'

Hi Catwalker808. You are right on. On the tag, the C. violacea is a cross of C. violacea fma. flamea 'Aki' x C. violacea fma. flamea 'Miriam Rosa'. Do you know what fma stands for? I presume it is another acronym similar to variety (var.).

Fma. = forma = form, more random, and generally less well established in natural populations than varieties.

"Form usually refers to an uncharacteristic flower color or unusual growth habit."
"A subdivision of a species is designated as a subspecies (distinctive difference between two geographically isolated populations) and variety (distinctive morphologic difference, but populations geographically overlap)."
-http://www.krischanphoto.com/gardens/taxonomy/taxonomy.htm

Not always used very carefully, though, as also "variety" especially in horticulture.

Thanks Ron. There is so much to learn.
