Circle of Life Cross
I purchased a compot of Lc. Irene Finney x Slc. Circle of Life from H&R Nurseries a few years ago. Here are two plants from the compot that are in bloom. The plant with the darker pink flowers is in a 4-inch plastic pot. It has two flowers with a natural spread of 11 cm. The plant with the larger lighter flowers is in a 5-inch plastic pot. It has three flowers with a natural spread of 11.5 cm.

Nice find
appears to have been what the hybridizer was trying to do
appears to be a nice blend between the two parents.
Thanks for sharing

The one on the right is my favorite of the 2. How many more are left to bloom from your compot?

I like getting crosses for this reason...you can find some real winners! In your case, you have two beautiful results (so far)!
