besseae ?

[grasshopper]

Hello everyone,
I bought this on ebay about a year and a half ago, was told its bessese but looks like it has something else in it, I like it though, I almost traded it away, glad I hung on to it!

Lovely but I've never seen a besseae that pink. How large is the flower?

 

[NYEric]

Barbara LeAnn. besseae x fischeri

 

[koshki]

I love it!

 

[W. Beetus]

Beautiful plant! I agree that it looks like Barbara LeAnn.

 

[SlipperFan]

Definitely not a straight besseae. Lovely color.

 

[Erythrone]

very nice!

Beautiful; but, not besseae. I agree with Eric, it's likely Barbara LeAnn. I'd love to see a photo of it from a more "straight on" angle, rather than from above.

Hows this one? Petals became more twisted after a few days

Interesting....does everyone still think it's B. LeAnn?

 

[NYEric]

It's either that or a stange color Plemont but since he's not in Canada or any other EYOF friendly country...

I really should stay out of this forum section, each and every time I see a besseae or a besseae hybrids it allmost forces me to go out and buy some.

I don't know how big the flower is but I don't think it is a Barbera LeAnn looks to big

I'm agreing with you Eric, when I saw it first I thoughted it was 'something' like a St Ouen or Plemont because the dorsal and color... But!??

 

[NYEric]

The color is too red/deep for Hanne Popow and Plemont has only been offered once in US that I know of!

I agree, not sure what it is.

I quess ill never know, Im curious as to what the next flower or two will look like, maybe Ill cross it with something but what would you call it and its kin

 

[Erythrone]

I think will never know for sure too.

Sometimes, Waunakee Sunset looks like that (at least to my eyes!)
