Plant 51

Plant #51 is now almost 2m tall in it’s 300mm pot, one of the first grown as

trees. She is an integral part of the breeding program and has given seed three

times now.

The large Red treble has shown blue edges in the right conditions.

Can bud and flower straight from the stems and has flowered continually all

winter.

Through the wonders of generational adaption, the seed that I am getting from

this hybrid #6A (Plant #51/#57/#71 there are more than a dozen) prove to

have acclimatised to our conditions here in North Queensland extremely well.

A variety of seed is always available for this hybrid, which as the study shows

gives a large % multi-petal plants. With improvements in colouration, petal

count and blue edge effect being seen in each new generation. This seed has

become very exciting to grow.
