Rimbertianum "Eclipse"

I got a division of this classic primary last autumn. Happy it's in flower now. The pouch looks a bit as it had a hard time, must be the hookerae in it. I like it lots, still.

I put pollen of urbanianum on it, trying to get some clearer markings and increase size of the dorsal.

Interesting.. What is it? Hookerae x superbiens..? (Too lazy to look up parentage)..

I hope the wonky pouch doesn't pass on to it's progeny.

It must be urbanianum X hookerae....interesting

Rick, it is ciliolare x hookerae, the cross made by the end of the 19th century.

OK, I can see cili in the dorsal now.
