Den Little Atro and Den normanbeyense x atroviolaceum H&R

[Jeff214]

Den little atro (Den atroviolaceum x Den normanbyense) and Den atroviolaceum 'H&R' x Den normanbyense.

I guess the cross makes them both Den little atro?, but they have slightly different plant and flower morphology. Den little atro has slightly larger, greener flowers while the other cross has been more floriferous with twisted petals.

I like the latter cross since it's about 4 inches in height with compact flowers.

(The third photo is Den little atro, while the second photo is the other cross)

Nice. My "Little Atro" is loaded with buds! I can hardly wait.

Very nice! I love be the Latourias with Den. normanbayense in them. I have quite a few of them. If you have room for it, H&R's Den Little Andre is an easy grower and prolific bloomer. Purple stripes rule!

Thanks - I do too!

Den. Little Andre looks nice. Sadly not listed for sale on H&R! Is it similar to Den green apples, green flash? I'm assuming that the plant size is smaller.

If you have any photos, I'd love to see them.

Best,

Not sure if I have any pics of Little Andre, but I will look. Despite the "Little" in the name, it is a big plant with canes at least 12 inches tall. I call it Little Andre the Giant.

And yes, similar to green apples and flash.
