Quite a stocky menacing looking flower.

Doesn’t have the look of callosum but I could be blind lol.

 

[SlipperKing]

I should of posted my other callosum as a side by side comparison. I'll do that now

I'm thinking the influence of viniferum or the 'JAC' clone bred with a standard callosum is going to tweak the outcome on these vini callosums. We see this allot, man-made hybrid species loosing their natural charming characteristics.

great colour and sheen.

I'm thinking about crossing the two for larger flame callosum. What do you think Stephen?

 

[richgarrison]

This is from that same cross. Just posting for your comparison. Thought I had another one also.. I’ll look when I get home- double checked the plant and yea the one I just added is also from that same cross

That's a beauty too Rich

Rick, I love the down swept petals. I don't know why I love this look, but I have to admit I prefer it to more laterally held ones. Great color too.

Rick, the colouration of this flower is deep and extravagant (almost too deep) .... its shape is very full (??) ..... I prefer the more open flowers like I can see in your 'normal' callosum or in the second plant of Rich.

 

[Ozpaph]

yeah, baby!

 

[SlipperKing]

Very good Rich. Your second one shows the variation in presentation from the matting of the two parents. I believe Rudolf will be pleased with your second callosum!

Indeed Rick, I am .
