Phrag. besseae 'Haven' x 'Smokin'

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice and interesting to see colour variation on the same spike like that! Cultivation, temperature or just a genetic game?
Even on a well labeled plant a % of variation may occur too...

Definitely not haven x smokin after checking photos of that actual cross on the net. I guess my new label will have to be "NOID peachy bess from OZ".

I think the tag was correct. I won a peach colored besseae at auction earlier this week and the tag is labeled the same as yours. So I thinking it only produced reds I contacted John Chant. This is want he replied, "The peaches came out spontaneously from Haven X Smokin".

This was a great plant last year.

How's it looking this year Migrant?

Rick, with the the super hot & dry summer up here, it took a beating. I am not sure it will spike but will post if it flowers.

Sitting here at the computer I can't recall which of the 'smokin / haven' crosses I have but its making a comeback from its peak a few years ago. So I'm also looking forward to some flowers soon.

My 'Peach Cobbler' x 'Colossal Peach' is a bright Chinese red and I so hoped it would have this lovely coral pink color. I'm very envious.
If you ever have a division to sell, I'm your customer.
