Rob,

Happy pollinating on your flashy Flamenco Queen. I've found in the past that she sets big fat seeds easily.

The Royal Botanical Garden looks like a lovely place to spend an afternoon, alone or with friends!

What is your first picture? That's not the Minerva you were referring to is it.. because, I doubt that it is Minerva...

Donna

Is it not Donna?
I ordered is a Minerva, and honestly though it is one! But since Emaryllis is down again I can't even check. Have you any suggestion what might it be?

The only thing I found matching is either Clown or Superstar... so I have my first mislabel... any suggestions?

Rob.

Ps. It still a lovely mislabel, wonder what will come out of it and Flamenco Queen

Rob,

I'm not really sure what your red and white one is. I have a Clown and a Popov and also a Toronto but I 'm not sure they match yours. If you want me to post pictures of them so you can compare, I will.. but, there are several other red and white striped flowers so maybe someone else will recognize yours and be able to give you a clue!

Donna

I love your mislabled bulb it is stunning regards and happy growing danny

The gorgeous orange flowers in one of the photos above, does anyone know what they are? I have collected some seeds and there was no label. Was hoping not to have to wait till they flowered to find out what they were. Cheers, K

What did the leaves look like? It looks like a canna to me.

I know it had Inferno in the name but that's all.

Rob

Thanks, I don't think the seeds I got were from a canna, the leaves were more like a freesia, about 12 inches tall, the flower spikes were about 8 to 10 inches above that. Will have to see if the label is updated when we revisit the sight in about a week, will keep you posted. Cheers, K

Cool, I would like to know what it is too.

I guess that photo in the first post - is Toronto. But additionally need to know: how were placed "wings" (internal upper sidelobes) in the middle and at the end of flowering.
