Kiwi Earl Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 A pleasing example of var.rubrioperculata. That said, at this stage it is, but then it can colour up later to present as var. nigropurpurea. Question could be asked: Can it be viable to define a single clone as two different varieties within a period of month or two within the same season? Which is it? Hmmm.... This is a White's Crossing, Stone Co MS individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's a difficult one! I know some flava var. ornata clones colour up to rubricorpora in some growers' conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel G Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Very nice plant, not sure of the naming though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordovic Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Infraspecies hydrid maybe? I'd like to see a photo of the plant later on in the season for comparison (hint, hint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Earl Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Infraspecies hydrid maybe? I'd like to see a photo of the plant later on in the season for comparison (hint, hint). Grown from wild collected seed. An alata in every respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordovic Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Sorry. That's what infra- means (as opposed to inter-); within the species, i.e. between S. alata var. rubrioperculata and S. alata var. nigropurpurea. That it's from wild seed actually makes this quite likely. There are nigropurpureas at White's Crossing right?
