Hi Des,
The color in this guy is outstanding!

I really appreciate you sharing this with us, as I can not bloom these guys where I live...it's just too hot.

Beautiful color. Thanks for the pic. Did you save all 25 seedlings? How about sending some across the pond? LOL

I sold some of them as mothers day presents ,at R100.00 each (about $10.00 US) Dont You wish that I could send them across the pond!!
once they have all flowered I will have the best of them cloned as they will be popular here as mothers day gifts

Khan Flame x Fairwall 'Dural' #2

What I find so interesting about this seedling is that Khan Flame is red, Fairwall "Dural is yellow .
Take a close look at how the orange "Look" is obtained by thousands of red dots on a yellow background.This can be quite clearly seen if you enlarge the photo.So it fools the eye into seeing it as orange!!
