Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot. Near flowering size.

Lc. Cherokee Star. Every once in a while, a hybrid comes along that has to be remade. The first batch of these was spectacular with gracefully arching stems of 5-7 starry orange flowers.  Just imagine an orange-flowered L. anceps!   The offspring proved to be easy growers, the plants sized up quickly and bloomed easily. This is a variant of the SVO 10134, it will be interesting to see which will be better, so you have to get each!
