'Pirate's Prism'


'Pirate's Prism'

This is one I got last year, and is huge - 7" across. I am trying a few crosses with it. Because it is very windy today, I put a little foil cap on after pollenating, like I do when it looks like rain.

It is better than the one named 'Applique' for having an applique throat. :)

Yes I shall await to see what comes when you cross it.

I have been trying, but my success rate is a little low right now because they open so late in the day. I have been keeping the pollen overnight in the refrigerator to use on flowers that are just starting to open the next morning. Today I tried this one with the pollen from Golden Tentacles (one that I never know what it will do).

That s a shame perhaps its to do with weather alteration we are having over the globe. I hope you succeed.
