If I mean well, it is schlimii, too, isn t?Nice blooms Istvan... however the red in the staminode rules it out of a manzurii, which has only green and yellow coloration. Likely a schmilii?
There are many sellers out there that may have mistaken their schmiliis as manzuriis inadvertently.
Similarly even renown and trusted websites (like Kew) have posted wrong pics of schmiliis as manzuriis.

And here is the AOS species ID task force (SITF) determining the 'manzurii' with a reddish tint on staminode as a schmilii:

The staminode has red, so it's a schmilli unfortunately.If I mean well, it is schlimii, too, isn t?
oops, sorry Leslie , I repost the same information that you already posted ( I did not see your post at the top )Nice blooms Istvan... however the red in the staminode rules it out of a manzurii, which has only green and yellow coloration. Likely a schmilii?

Or maybe not so inadvertently. Names mean money to dealers. Also, I am not surprised to see an obvious schlimii sold as a manzurii as both types grow intermixed. Manzurii is a form of schlimii, nothing more.Nice blooms Istvan... however the red in the staminode rules it out of a manzurii, which has only green and yellow coloration. Likely a schmilii?

It already is.Manzurii is going to become schlimii anyway.
Now it is ready and pleases me with its bloom. Popow and Gruß both publish similar plants as manzurii, American reviewers seem to see it differently, actually I don't care, but I'd be interested to hear what @ORG has to say about it.
