Phrag. czerwiakowianum x pearcei ???

[SlipperFan]

The tag says:
czerwiakowianum x pearcei
The RHS site recognizes czerwiakowianum as an independent species, whereas the phragweb.info says that czerwiakowianum is a variety of boissierianum. The RHS site does not list czerwiakowianum x pearcei, but boisserianum x pearcei is Taras, according to RHS -- but phragweb says Taras is boissierianum x pearcei v. ecuadorense. The RHS site says ecuadorense is a synonym (of pearcei).

So what do I have???

This is why I go nuts about name changes! :crazy:

You have a green Phrag!

 

[phrag guy]

I would say Taras,as I did see the plant Allan registered

 

[SlipperFan]

You have a green Phrag!

Yes, but it has lotsa other colors, too.

 

[SlipperKing]

The natural hybrid Dot...richteri

I tend to agree w Rick; I think it's x richteri, the natural hybrid between Phrag. boissierianum and pearcei.

I guess you're right, but to me it just seemed green at first.

I would of thought the petals would be longer for richteri

All richteri(s) can't be prefect! LOL

Here is mine to compare.

Hmmmmmm!

So a question here: If this plant was hybridized by a human, is it still x richteri???

In short...no. You will have to assume czerwiakowianum, boisserianum and reticulatium are all the same thing and go with Phrag Taras.

Kinda what I figured, but I had to ask.
