jimfoxy Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Just found this hiding away. It was my only seedling that survived from this cross. Dog-pose: Messy comparison shot with parents either side of hybrid: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Weinberger Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey Jim! Nice crossing, well I would expect more colorful leaves according to the parents, but hybdirisation is always a surprising hobby ;-) Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfoxy Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Chris. It has been quite shaded which is probably why the leaves have no colour yet. I have just moved it to get a bit more light so shall see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was hoping for a red flower.. Maybe if the parent sequence were switched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James O'Neill Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I like the cross - best of both I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Weinberger Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Good evening! I was hoping for a red flower.. Maybe if the parent sequence were switched? It would be interesting to se some other plants from thiis crossing, perhaps they would be more like laueana. It´s a pitty, that Jim has lost the plants. Kind regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfoxy Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was hoping for a red flower.. Maybe if the parent sequence were switched? Hi Jim. It doesn't work like that as I understand it, unfortunately. I have never seen the bright red flower of a laueana parent pass to a hybrid offspring; it always seems to end up some shade of purple/dark pink. My avatar photo is the only one I have had where it has not been a shade of purple (and that is an F2 hybrid). Looking at other laueana x cyclosecta crosses made by others, I think they look pretty similar to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Still a nice looking flower. I wish I could get the knack of hand-pollinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Weinberger Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Jim! Still a nice looking flower. I wish I could get the knack of hand-pollinating. What´s your problem with pollination, it´s really easy. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) I've read all the descriptions and seen the illustrations. I keep trying and nothing ever results in pods or seeds. I think I need someone come over and watch me do it and correct whatever I am doing wrong. Edited July 27, 2010 by jimscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Weinberger Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Perhaps you want to visit me? ;-) Which plants did you used? Have you seen the pollen already? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yes, please do.... and bring your camera and cheesecake and Beatles records and.... Pollen? I believe I have. I've torn enough flower petals apart to get at the pollen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemens Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) I once grew a clone of this hybrid. For quite some time I had its flower as my avatar. Edit: Oops, the plant I had as my avatar was actually, Pinguicula laueana x Pinguicula emarginata, and not Pinguicula laueana x Pinguicula cyclosecta.

Joseph Clemens Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Perhaps if Pinguicula 'Enigma' (with its lighter colored flower) were used in place of the typically lavender colored Pinguicula cyclosecta, the red color of Pinguicula laueana might pass to the F1 progeny.
