Clare was talking about never comparing Penang Peach and Som Garasin...Well Clare you're in luck...I just did a side by side comparison for you. With the heat we have here, it really is bringing the red out, in both. And as far as the hook goes...it seems like a strong characteristic of Penang Peach...so I would not be surprised to see it in a good amount of PP's offspring...especially the self pollinated offspring.
Take a look at theses pictures...I will let you all be the judge.
These plants have been growing side by side for over a month now. They get they same amount of sun, same water, soil, fertilizer, etc...all things are equal, well as much as possible with them being in separate pots. Pics might be a little off because I did not take them in the same exact postion.
First Picture:
Som Garasin used my thumb to open it...I used two flowers...one from SG and one from PP. Both had just started to open, roughly same stage of opening, so I used my thumb to open them a little further so we could see the colors. I was afraid to use flowers that were already open...too many things can influence there color after opening...plus I would not be able to tell how long each had been open for.
