Second time it blooms under my care. Last time, it flowered in early spring and the flowers were way darker with better shape.

big plant...

Last year :

Very interesting to see the difference!

Yay besseae hybrids! Still, they're not bad.

 

[17andgrowing]

Not bad at all. Congrats.

The change from one year to the next makes them almost look like two different plants.

I like the spring blooming. The clear watermelon color
looks scrumptious on my monitor.

nice,funny how this happens

 

[Erythrone]

Very nice!

It is very strange that the flowers looks so different. The longifolium traits are more apparent under warmer temps..maybe?

 

[Silvan]

I can't believe that it's already been almost a year since the last time this plant bloomed. Is it me or time seems to go by faster as we get older?

Anyway, still a summer bloom but the colours are more vibrant this time around. So, I thought it was worth sharing.

...I can't believe that I'm growing this big plant in my little basement...

In situ

What is the cross again?

 

[Silvan]

Thanks!

Yeah I know .It's still a baby, I think. At least for now it's only making a single growth at a time so I can manage the space for now...

Very nice!

It's one of those cross that the name says it all.
Sargent Eric = sargentianum x Eric Young

Yeah yeah I know, RHS writes Sergeant Eric.

I was assuming such, but you know how folks are with names.
Gracias!

The color is deep and beautiful on the latest blooming and
the spots inside the pouch are very nice. I'd give it a salute anytime.
