Question about Crown Jewel

15 years ago

I'm looking to buy a Chimera online, and have found one that I like. It's called Crown Jewels. I've found it for sale at two different places, but one says it is Lyon's and that it is a sport of Golden Rubie, and the other says it is by Cox. They look the same and their name is the same, are they the same?? Thanks :) Christy

Here is the Lyon's: http://www.avchimera.com/lyonscrownjewel.htm

and here is the Cox:

HI,
As you can see from the description in FC2 the plant was hybridized by Cox. Lyons greenhouses may just be propagating it to sell.

Crown Jewels (G. Cox) Semidouble-double chimera white star/hot fuchsia stripe, purple fantasy. Medium green, plain. Standard

Instead of the Crown Jewel, I got a Misbehaving on Ebay from Kbugs. Can't wait to get it, I think it'll arrive by tomorrow!! Christy :)
