Nice F2 from "Chico" x H.papilio

With 5 florets on an amazingly strong scape. The flowers are not "slightly drooping" as compared with MANY Hybrids with H.papilio parentage including the Mother Plant which is the seedling #15.

The creation of F2 from Cybister x H.papilio is hampered by the circumstance, that the F1 are mostly not capable of producing seeds. Recently I learned that H.cybister be pentaploid, which seems a good explanation. However, I have one F1 seedling #15 which produces seeds in abundance, year after year.

The array of buds was cute, but the outer coloration did not suggest any extraodinary:
