Phar Lap 'Agua Caliente'

Post by Albert Nakaji »

Has more flowers and a long spike that Gordon Gibbs 'Dashing', but the plant is also larger, a bit more difficult to bloom under my conditions, and the color isn't as strong.

Yes, less warmth-tolerance in Phar Lap than Gordon Gibbs. But when you cross a tetraploid PL to an ensifolium line tetraploid, anything could happen.

Here's a comparison image of 'Agua Caliente' on the left, and Gordon Gibbs 'Black Velvet' in the right. Hard to see, but the Gordon Gibbs flowers are larger.Image
