What type of bloom is this?

It's a seedling(OF COURSE its white, what other color can I grow??). Was just wondering if this is a Candida type bloom.

Is this another Ursaline cross? I like it. Even if it is white!

Well, it's one of those first pods I had last year, I went crazy with pollen and didn't tag anything. Could be a Whiskers baby.


x candida (aurea x versicolor)?

How many true white aurea are there? The one in Preissels book it x candida. Two in Monikas book has, what I will call aurea shape. Are there more, than this?

Thanks Tonny, I thought it was a Candida type. Is the difference in an aurea type and a candida type the size of the bloom? or that the candida type comes farther out of the calyx?


No, aurea is horisontal and have often very pronounced veins or sewings (*lol*) drawings on the tube and sohave suaveolens and x insignis. x candida has mostly very fine sewings. also x candida has hanging flowers. A character they have from the versicolor in the mix. Do you know, that your flowers have beautiful, long tendrils? :)

Tonny, lots of the seedlings from Dr Seuss/CG have long tendrils, especially if I used Ecuador Pink as the pollen donor. I'm fixing to post one that's got tendrils longer than my finger.
