Given one's using a very good delavayi as mother I think the cross delavayi x mairei will give some nicely marked plants.

Just a baby here.

John, a seedling of P. marie you gave to me. I was a skeptic about it being a separate species but seeing it bloom it looks distinct

On P. delavayi colours seem variable from year to year but seem to improve as the plants get older, contrary to what Stern's monograph indicates. These 2 got a lot of sun last year, one had a meltdown. Neither are as good this year.

Now it wasn't bad enough PMcD was texting me Paris pictures all through the night which meant the Blackberry was dead by 6am & I still wide awake, now these stunners!

Time for those Paris pix here.

Two selections of our hybrids using PMcD's best delavayi as mother & versipelle as dad.  BTW Philip Ken is getting a good number of your two best delavayi propagated by root cuttings, that is to say pre 'Down for Brown' and 'Red Hot Mama' delavayis.

What will be useful are the really late emerging delavayis here.  Just lucky this year with such an early spring and then more than a few unexpected April frosts that the delavayis hadn't emerged, there was however a lot of carting pots of them in and out every day.

The same E5-#1 yesterday.  Lots of cold sun but maybe better if it had had warm sun.

My goodness Philip and John, don't do this to me!  Love that 'Red Hot Mess' and 'E5-#1' but all of them are stunning.  I shall have to go and have a lie down :o
