Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Full sun, minimum night temperatures in the fall and winter below 50°F, dry rest in fall and early winter, feed with low ratio N fertilizer in this period.
Comments: I believe this cross has good potential for dark flowers.
Pod parent plant: 'Tunstead's Pink' is considered the finest collected kingie in the last 40 years in Australia. I have 3 plants with AMs which had this as one parent; 2 are pink, and one is dark purple.
Pollen parent plant: 'Karl Marx' is a superb purple, with good form, good flower count and imparts the color to its progeny. It is rather small and will never win a flower award, but is used for breeding in Australia.

Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
390 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/10/2005 through 09/23/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/25/2005 through 03/24/2006)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends from the Hunter
River in New South Wales to near the Tropic of Capricorn. Plants also
occur in Carnarvon Gorge, about 280 mi. (50 km) inland at 25.0S. Plants
often grow in areas with high humidity, strong air movement, and full sun
for much of the day, but they are also found in more shaded areas. Plants
are found in pockets of leaf-mold on rocks in open forests or on cliff
faces between sea level and 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They are usually found on
rocks but occasionally may also grow on trees.
