primulinum flavum

goldenrose · Feb 16, 2009

This is an Antec cross (Candor Luminesse x Goldnugget) I got a couple of years ago.

A closeup of the stam, we were questioning Jim's prim, thought it might help.

I like it, Rose. Which colour is closer to reality, the upper or the lower pic?

Without questioning anything, primulinum usually has a longish staminode. The dorsal is also pretty large for the species.

Very nice.

Best wishes, Carsten

We have one of the same cross that resembles the top one, a very whitish pouch.

The top one. The closeup of the stam was taken yesterday, lighting was a bit different, I didn't like the way the full flower shot turned out, so I tried again! I wonder if the light meter isn't thrown off a bit by the white pouch? The rim of the pouch & inside edge of the pouch is yellow, so when I zoomed in, no more white, less light & the yellow shows up! I didn't use a flash this morning but used a supplemental light.
