interestingly Propetalum Mathina has the zygo shape but the bloom colouring is completely non-zygo looking. Its an interesting bloom. Parents are a zygo and Promenaea xanthina. ( all yellow bloom ).
Now when its crossed back with a zygo-looking hybrid, we get a ........zygo-looking bloom ! Zygo genes really predominate in certain crosses. Something I have borne in mind when I have done mine; either you want the zygo-look, or something completely different !
someone used Mathina in a cross and produced Propetalum Kiwi Leopard - an all yellow zygo-looking bloom. I think its spectacular and wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those...
