In my experience flavum besseae hybrids are no weaker than red.

Okay. But, in post #18 of this thread, you asked: "which ones look wimpy?" So, I answered your question. The context of this discussion is concolor yellow Phrags (like the Saint Ouen pictured), not yellow-ish ones (most besseae flavum hybrids are not all yellow).

 

[NYEric]

This may be so. However, your description of your besseae sounds more like a description of a Phrag. Jersey than a besseae.

Or, maybe I'm just that good at growing them.
:rollhappy:

This is NOT a Phrag. Jersey. This is a sibling to the other 1,100 besseae's that I have. Plus, they all have that damned habit of making a lo-oooooooong rhizome inbetween growths, quite unlike what Jersey does.

P. besseae 'Carlisle' is so beautiful.... And it does not look like a Jersey at all...

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow -- that is gorgeous, John!

 

[NYEric]

That is a good one. Looks as good as current OZ breeding line. Is it 4N?

 

[John M]

Thanks. It originally came from OZ. I don't think it's 4N. Although, I've not had it's chromosomes counted.

Stunning besseae and such huge petals!
