Armeniacum x thaianum

[Happypaphy7]

Blooming for the second time this year.
Love that bright shiny yellow center. sunny side up
** It took ten years to bloom for the first time in 2017. It took three years to bloom again in 2020. Then, it took one year to bloom for the third time in March 2021. And now! Plus there are two new growths well on their way.
So it’s definitely putting its act together.

I don't go for hybrids but I like the look of this one. I have both in flower now so maybe......

Looks like it got the best of both parents. Love that staminode. I suggest a clonal name of "Sunny Side Up".

The colour looks like a lovely Italian sorbet, so cute it‘s almost edible !

So which should be the pollen parent?

Do it, do it, do it lol.

Exactly my sentiment!! lol

The tag on mine lists thaianum first. I don't think it really matters, though.
Why don't you do both ways just in case one fails?

Right? I was a bit bummed at first in 2017 at how large the plant is and how small the flower is. I still liked the flower shape and how yellow the staminode is, but I like it more and more!
It has two new growths going and I really hope it continues to grow and bloom for me.
