Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: I pollinated the plant because the flowers were starting to fade and I didn't have another cultivar on hand to cross it with. Surprisingly, a capsule did develop, which is odd because tolumnias are usually self-sterile. We'll see if it holds the capsule to maturity and how much (if any) viable seed I get.
Parent plant: This cultivar is my best-shaped cultivar, and yet has the smallest flowers. However, with the good shape and pleasing medium pink color, it is definitely a keeper.
