FFO (Techny Peace x Caledonia) x Spacecoast Starburst

Post by Patrushka »

The first flower on one of Ed's crosses,(Techny Peace x Caledonia) x Spacecoast Starburst, opened today. It's a little worse for wear because we had another thunderstorm this morning. I think it's very pretty in spite of the damage the rain did. :cool:

Seems to be missing a couple tepals. The other flowers will probably be normal...

It's missing a sepal and a petal, sure is an oddball
The color looks good, interesting to see what develops

Here is the second flower on (Techny Peace x Caledonia) x Spacecoast Starburst. It looks pink but it really isn't.

My guess is the top picture is the correct color John
I only say that because of what I am seeing here with simular crosses

Yes, the top picture is pretty close to the true color.

Very pretty. The camera does strange things to the colors sometimes.

Thanks John. I think it's pretty too. Yes, the camera does do strange things to the color. Mine seems to be doing it more often lately. It might be time for a new one. I think this was the morning when I ran out to take a pic because I heard the thunder and was afraid the bloom would get all beat up. It was already drizzling when I got out there.
