This is P. Greensuds x P. tranlienianum.
You can find the discussion about P. tranlienianum hybrids and this one here (Breeding & Production)

Interesting outcome!

 

[JeanLux]

I like a lot !!!! Jean

 

[John M]

Very nice. I'd actually like to see a little more tranlienianum influence on the shape. It's not very clear in this hybrid. A tran shape with those colours would be very cool!

Exactly my thinking John! I will go on to work this tranlienianum traits out.

Love it!

That is fantastic Chris. Love it.

 

[SlipperFan]

I like it, also.

This is another plant of this cross. It is a bigger plant, but a smaller flower than the first one. Unfortunately the petals don't show the nice ruffles of the tranlienianum parent. They have just a wavy rim.

I'm normally not a fan of complex hybrids but this does have a certain charm to it. Nice!

 

[John M]

Well, this is a nice cross even if the flowers don't show much tran shape. I do think you've got a chance to make an interesting next generation cross....especially if you have access to tran v. album to cross with this hybrid!

I always love the white with shades of pink or honey.

The first one is definitely superior. I love their short stature.

Hmm, interesting idea. But I don't see the advantage of using the albine form of tranlienianum to cross with P. Philippo Lippi. The recessive genes for albinism would be 'voted down' by the colored ones. The resulting outcome would probably look the same as if I did use a colored tranlienianum.
