It's exciting and encouraging to see the recent interest in Mexi-ping flower pollination and the possibility of new seed grown clones, here on this forum.
Wanted to share some pics of some of my seed grown
P agnata x colimensis plants that are now flowering.
This one has some of the characteristics from the
P. agnata mother, mainly the leaf coloring and a highly scented flower.
It's nice to know that the scented flower traits can be passed on to the hybrid offspring.
The one thing that all of these flowers have in common is the long nectar spur from the
P. colimensis father.
The rosette showing coloring from the
P. agnata mother.
Here is another pot with two
P. agnata x colimensis clones, with the top flower showing more
colimensis traits and the lower flower leaning more towards the
agnata end of the spectrum.
This flower just began opening yesterday and isn't quite fully open yet.
Once again, both of these flowers have the longer nectar spur from the
colimensis pollen donor.
The rosettes show less coloring from the mother, but the plant on the right has the flatter, diamond shaped leaves of
colimensis, while the plant at left carries more
agnata traits in its rosette.
An overhead shot of these plants.
It's interesting...the mixing and matching of traits from the two species parents.
