parentage?

Hi,

I am beginning to question the parentage of this plant.
It looks nothing like the photos of others of this cross both when you compare the shape and the colour.
Could it be kovachii x fisheri ?
The flower has opened more and flattened out overnight.
I will ask Claudia at Ratcliffes to see if they have more information.
Maybe they used a polyploid Hanne Popow as a parent.
I am not complaining - I love the flower.

Slightly dodgy photos from tonight when I got home from work when dark.
The flower has extended overnight from 7cm to a couple of mm below 9cm across and is very flat.
The rear view is almost as nice!
Very like a mini kovachii.
The colour is pretty close - a hot pink!
David

Whatever it is, I would count yourself lucky--wonderful shape and color!

Whatever it is, it's a wonderful flower with great colour. I love kovachii hybrids, except those made with long-petaled species.
