Sold as Evening Blaze but is Don Wimber

Is that still possible!?!?

Yes, why not?

Hmmm, that small CITES issue!

This one has definitely grown prettier as it has aged. I really like it now - regardless of what it is.

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'm agreeing with Bill and Lance, be cautious in your name change...
For me it could be an Evening Blaze.
This cross should show a dominance of besseae and longifolium pretty close at the level as the Don Wimber.
Evening Blaze = 62,5 bes + 18,75 long + 12,5 fish + 6,25 sarg
Don Wimber = 75 bess + 25 long

Jean-Pierre,

That is good advice. I was aware of the species breakdown and was little confused why there is no apparent influence from either sargentianum or fischeri. Seeing a few of Lance's plants made me realize sometimes the influence isn't apparent. Whatever the plant is, it is definitely a keeper. I've had it upstairs in the living room for a few days and have enjoyed it.

I have a few other Evening Blazes from the same source (including one that is in spike) so it should be interesting to see how they turn out.
