One of the plants was besseae x kovachii and the other was Cape Sunset x kovachii, so they were both influenced by besseae. The flowers are larger and colored differently than typical besseae hybrids. You will see some diversification as other crosses outside the besseae group are bloomed.
I saw this photo of kovachii x bessae cross AOS Message Board
I think it looks much better, or it is a better photo?
The AOS message board photo is better - less clutter in the background.
The flowers of the hybrids that I've seen personally or in photos are appealing but the rolling forward of the petals is distracting.

Hmm... I like those rolling forward petals, they are so cute.
