Red Rocket x Suzanne Decker - ca575

[paphman]

Here is the first to bloom, out of flask in April of 2016. Two others in bud at present and will be about a month to flower.

Very nice.
Interesting that Suzanne Decker, all plants of which are supposedly triploid, produced some seedlings.
I look forward to seeing the others.

fantastic bloom, I must say I had to do do a double glance at the first picture, as it look's like a botanical painting.

 

[grubea]

Awesome color on that one. You definitely have to post pics of the others as they bloom.

 

[grubea]

How big is it?

 

[paphman]

Big, but I will give you measurements tomorrow. It is very flat and will tentatively be registered as Carolina Sunrise.

I love the mellow color and the nice dorsal. Save one for
me!

Yay besseae hybrids! Nice spots!
Doesn't the producer get first choice of the name?

 

[paphman]

Yes, unless he gives permission to someone else, in this case the first person he is aware of who flowered it. He sent me the pertinent info and I emailed the registration today.

 

[NYEric]

Cool!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Nice!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice color.

The second one will open soon and I’ll post right away. Still waiting for the RHS notification and acceptance of the name.
