Very interesting late season intermediate, will be an invaluable parent.

This is really rather good, but, it is what lies latently in its genes that is its real strength. Late whites, upright and flowering for Christmas in the SH.

It is always great to see primaries. I was surprised at the dominance of Cym. madidum over insigne in the Bert Ruiter grex.

A hybridisers job is never finished! (thankfully)

Yes, Murph, Cym. madidum is a great friend of mine. This plant is about the smallest bulbed of the crossing so the color relates to the bulb size. You would not recognize the spray if you saw it right now.... I believe I made at least six crossings onto it today! My last day at the greenhouse for over two weeks so I had a very busy day.
