Neo. Perfect Score x Treasure Chest', and close up of flower, below
Some new variegated Neoregelias maturing/ blooming this summer. Hoping some of these will prove to be variegate transmitters. I lke the lineata type variegation, too!
Here's a close up of my favorite from the group.
Even the young plants show outstanding color
Mostly new batch of Orthophytum hybrids and f2s from seed sown in December 2009 (photo from 9/29/2011)
This is a laggard from a grex of Vr. 'Sunset' x 'Eva'. Similar colors as the reverse grex, but this one is more compact than its counterpart (also on this page) Worth the wait?
...and a couple of interesting individuals from the group photo above
...and this variegated one was a nice surprise! It's starting to form a nice clump (7/3/2013), but no sign of flowering, yet.
My grex of Neo. 'Gespacho' x ['Charm x Mocha Mint] started to come into bloom during June 2009. First flower 6/30/09. This is one of the wilder ones. There's no getting away from the spots on this one. This one's worthy of registration. I need a couple more pups, and a good name!!
They've thoroughly covered the leaf undersides, too!
Here's a nice spotty one. This is the best selection so far of Neo. 'Fosperior x Carousel' x 'Merry-Go-Round'. The seed parent gives kind of a strappy character to it. Perhaps the new pups will develop a bit fuller, or in a warmer climate. Compared to the named Neo. 'Aztec' (dark form), I like the colors and contrast of spotting better in this plant.
First flower of a grex of Vr. 'Eva' x 'Sunset'. Photo from 12/6/08. I was advised not to expect any branching from this cross, but I like the color contrast of foliage and inflorescence. It's a small plant- about 15" across and 21" tall.
Here is another coming into bloom (July '10) that has similar colors with nice branching! .....more discolor foliage than the selection above, Possibly the most desirable of the grex?!
This is one of my favorites from all of 2012. Neo. ['Angel Face' x cyanea] x 'Tunisia'. Great color, leaf texture, shine, flower color, and compact! Update August 2014-Registered as Neo. 'Scarlet Starlet'.
More good news- I'm getting 6 pups from the original mother plant!
...and a surprising grex mate to the plant above! I'll reserve judgement on this one 'til after it blooms. Photo from July 2013.
