I didn't realize they are kovachii hybrids. Very pretty, but looks similar to bessae hybrids. I was expecting something more outstanding.

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?
