But based on the pics on internet it looks like 2-3 is the maximum for this hybrid. |
Nice growing Camille!
This hybrid has three AOS awards, the most recent (2004) was awarded to the plant 'Andean'. It had three flowers on one upright inflorescence.

stitz - You are absolutely correct, it was made in 76, I can't believe that in the ensuing years it has only been used in breeding 5 times and I for one have never heard of any of it's progeny. What a missed opportunity to increase the gene pool.

Maybe it isn't easy to breed with it? That would explain why there are so few crosses.

or, perhaps the Promenaea component is so dominant, all of the crosses look the same? |
