Disappointing card x PK & (card "Wilcox")

[Linus_Cello]

PK x cardinale from Peruflora (on left). Looks like regular cardinale. Photographed next to cardinale "Wilcox."

I would say it looks like an exact duplicate, a very nice duplicate!!!

It is Cardinale, Josephine de Bonaparte is quite bigger and with deeper coloration.

Sometimes when pollinating you get a selfing... your plant is likely cardinale x self.

It is Cardinale.

Agreed. Peruflora owes you a replacement.

Is the disappointment the size of the bloom or the similarity to the other bloom? I think both are quite pretty. Perhaps the mislabeling?

 

[Happypaphy7]

It is very pretty, but I would be disappointed as well since I don't see any PK influence at all.

Oops

Yep. Send them a photo.

 

[NYEric]

Definitely no Pk in that hybrid.

 

[Gilda]

Oh dear..that is disappointing!

Very pretty flower but not what it's supposed to be. I agree with the others that it's probably a selfing.
