H. dumortierii Sieboldiana x Skin And Bones

H. dumortierii Sieboldiana (species) Acquired from Brian Mahieu, this EM 40" DOR 5" light cadmium orange self with waxy substance opens early in the morning and closes after dark. With its height, slightly later bloom season, great branching and huge bud count, plus lack of the fulvous reverse, this does not in the least resemble the commonly available H. dumortieri (most often spelled with the final vowel dropped).

x

SKIN AND BONES (J.P. Murphy 2005) VL 46" DOR handsome 6½" red 6.5:1 spider that Jim says is an "excellent parent for VL narrow spiders with midribs and good branching" (Benzinger sdlg X RED RAIN).










Projected Results: Hoping for spiders and UFos with great bud counts, species vigor and a variety of bloom seasons; DOR.
