three tropicals in bloom today
« on: June 18, 2008, 04:22:52 PM »
I have three tropicals in bloom today, one of my own hybrids that is blue, a sport from the King of Siam and Director George T Moore.

Cheers,
Sean

The centre petals on King at any rate seem to burn at over 100 if there is no cloud cover.

Sean please explain how you found the sport. Was it a tuber in the same pot that grew to be something else? Isn't King of Siam the one you cannot cross? Or did I remember that wrong? I love your blue.

Gotta love that blue of yours.

Jerry, they are threatening us with 100 by this weekend too - I am running all my hoses like mad before that dreaded 10am curfew.

Cheers,

Mike

I love the hybrid blue!  The other blues are beautiful too.

You guys in L.A...didn't realize you had a watering curfew!  This dreadful heat is keeping me in hiding  :-\

So --
I confess, I don't understand the lineage of lilies.
The blue you have is almost white.
Are there whites derived from blues - and whites derived from pinks? Do they have different shades? Growth patterns?
