| I've realized making hybrid is an exciting hobby.
Months ago, they all looked the same, tiny green thing,
Now, some of them appear to be done :-)
At least, this one look rather like the pollen parent .
These are C.'Ken Vinzant' x C.argyrophyllus cross.
Brothers
Variation
Taken with 'Daddy'
I hope one of them would be a star (@^_^@)

| Chanin I would be honered but I'm not sure the beautiful cryptanthus would like having a name like 'HDD' :) |
|
| But I'm pretty sure one should be named Cryptanthus 'Moon Stone' (^_*) |

| A ha! thats a good name :)) |
|
| Well, now you are hooked, Chanin! It will take over your life, I promise you.... I'm still waiting for you to cross LV with KV. ;-) |
|
| Chanin- All your fingers are green, not just your thumbs! Nice to see the thick surf. Will be anxious to see if the barring when added to argophyllus, will double up on the surf in the barred areas. Lisa made a cross, call C 'Ultrasuede', which has such thick scurf I love to run it across my cheek. Who said cryptanthus can't be sensual. Definitely will have to write up your results later and get it into the Journal with lots of pictures. |
|
| It must be a very happy life, Lisa...thank you for your encourage (@^_^@) I promise I will do the cross and name the best one as 'Vinzant's pride' Thank you Dr Larry, you are the person who create those green finger guys, |
|
| Hi Crypt. fanciers, up to date for some stars that looking good.
|
|
| The one with the streaks looks like a winner, Chanin! Which grex is that from? And the one in the last photo? It looks like it has C. beuckeri in it. No scurf, or is it just wet? Nice scalloped edges on #7 too. |
|
| Thanks for your comments, Lisa (^_^) The green-streaked is a Dennis Cathcart's grex which I guess Yes, the last photo is C.beuckeri's, the plant has no scurf, #7 is your Ken Vinzant's x with C.argyrophyllus. |
