Phrag. X colombianum

[eteson]

It is manzurii albiflorum x schlimii, made by David Manzur. Nice and big flower, strongly scented.

excellent

 

[Rob Zuiderwijk]

A nice one. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. the proper name is Phrag. Colombianum I guess since it's manmade.

Rob you are right, this one is man made. Thank you so much!

The natural hybrid is very nice, would like to see

 

[eteson]

Not sure if the natural hybrid even exist...

 

[Cheyenne]

The few manzurii I have seen in the U.S. look more like this hybrid than the true species phrag manzurii. Very nice hybrid though.

There is an entry and picture of a described xcolombianum in Olaf gruss' newest book (amazing picture)

But that doesn't mean that there was more than that one flower in existence

Intermediate members between manzurii and schlimii are frequent... i would say that very frequent. The fact is that both species do not share habitat... so my guess is that the intermediate members are not natural hybrids but evolutive intermediates with a common origin. Hard to prove, I guess...

I eagerly await being able to get some of those here.
