this looks like
It looks kind of like a small isabella when pink, doesn't it. i was just checking my dead stalks, and at this minute i believe what i call my frosty pink is actually suavolens pink...... it is just beautiful late in the day with white flowers just opening, pink in the a.m.
How do you differentiate between Isabella, insignis x frosty pink and suaveolens pink.
And also in the literature x insignis is different from suaveolens by having longer horns and more space between the bud and there, where the flower starts to be wide, but when I look at the images posted here and elsewhere, the rules don`t fit the plants *lol* What are your practical exsperience?
... btw. I don`t exactly know, where I heard it, but something springs to mind about frosty pink is not its first name ... like for instance in the case of Junters Orange, that some people take to be the same hybrid as CG and SF.
Well, that was a lot of questions, but an old saying is, that one has to learn as long as one lives, so I guess, that I ask questions to survive *lol*
Edited to bring in the last remark.

Isabella has a wide flat wrinkled seedpod with a deep line going down the middle. Frosty pink has a smooth seedpod, much thinner, reminds one of a shortened versicolor pod. Suaveolens pink seedpod looks very similar to frosty pink. I don't grow any of those hybrids anymore, but I remember there were other subtle differences as well. All 3 were exceptionally fast growers, although Isabella was the best bloomer of the 3.
