This is 44-T, an unregistered plant from Harald Fawkner. I’m starting to like it. It’s a hybrid with very sturdy stems and has large flowers. What makes it really stand out from the crowd is the flower form, this one has ‘Japanese’ flowers, meaning the stamens are transformed into very small staminodes, devoid of any pollen. This flower form is…Read More

No more open flowers to take images, but we should have Canary Brilliants flowering again by the end of June, early August.

Not many pictures of the species can be found, so although very small, I’d like to share some images of the young leaflets that already show what it looks…Read More

Ha Koen, lijkt behoorlijk veel op wat ik van Harald heb gekregen als 34Q. Maar jouw loof heeft veel duidelijker het uiterlijk van andere peregrina-hybriden zoals de Corals. Ben het met je eens, Japs met zwaardere substantie zoals deze hybriden zijn erg mooi.
