Sold as Evening Blaze but is Don Wimber

[e-spice]

I got this one about a year ago with about three others. They were sold as Evening Blaze. Here's a picture of a real Evening Blaze: http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13692&highlight=evening+blaze

This looks exactly like a flavum-type Don Wimber to me though. It isn't a bad one though so I guess I'm kind of happy with it. That might change if all three turn out to be DW. :wink:

Yay besseae hybrids!

Cape Sunset?

Nice oops! It certainly looks more like a DW than a Cape Sunset to me, but as phrags become more complex, you'll never know.

Cape Sunset?

Interesting - it just looks so "Don Wimber-y" to me though.

I'd agree with the Don Wimber flavum type! Absolutely!! Although what's the height of the spike??

Phrag Evening Blaze does have some variability in color and blooming these besseae hybrids in hot weather will produce yellow/orange flowers instead of rich red/orange. It does look like Don Wimber, but with similar parentage that is the result. Be cautious in your name change.

I bloomed out probably 50 Evening Blaze seedlings from Chuck Acker flasks and there definately is a lot of variation. Your picture looks very much like some of my blooms. So I would stick with the current labeling unless you have other reasons to suspect it is incorrect.

Very nice flower, whatever it is.

It looks like Don Wimber to me, also.

Could be true. If it's Phrag Evening Blaze it's the nicest form one I've seen but it didn't keep much of the Waunakee Sunset color.

Here are some pics of other Evening Blaze blooms.

Looks like Don Wimber! oke:

 

[smartie2000]

Evening Blaze is Twilight x Waunakee Sunset

hmm...I think Don Wimber like blooms could result.

Well I'll be. Thanks Lance. I guess I stand corrected. Well at least I got corrected by a pretty smart dude. I loved seeing those pictures!

Thanks again!

 

[SlipperKing]

Great stuff again!

 

[SlipperFan]

I'll take the third one down...

Amazing how much the last one looks like Don Wimber.

Lance! Aren't you in Peru or somewhere sneaking er, I mean importing something nice for me!? oke:

BTW, Phrag Don Wimber usually has a clean yellow pouch; more like Phrag Eric Young. :wink:

Short trip, I'm back already!
Founds some things you would like but left them in the care of associates. Maybe you should go down to Peru with me next time, you can sneak what ever you want, or import it.

Is that still possible!?!?
