Here are some recent photos of S. x Adrian Slack x Judith Hindle, taken June 3, 2012. This individual clone is looking very promising:

Great pics!

Meizwang,

That is a beautiful cultivar. Are you going to register it? Did many of the seedlings turn out like that, or was that just the best one?

Do you have a nursery, or just a wonderful, out of control collection? I noticed all the pools and large pots in the background.

Thanks everyone!

jdallas-many of the seedlings from this cross turned out beautiful, and I've been struggling to select just one, but after much thought, I'm leaning towards this individual. There are others with white tops, some with solid blood red traps, but nothing else so far compares to this one. You don't need a greenhouse to bring out the intense colors, and the extreme contrast between the dark pink/red body and bright white top with dark veins makes it a winner.

Will it be registered? Definitely-I've taken a poll on another forum, and the general consensus is that it's worthy of registering. However, as many others have pointed out, it's important to grow it out to make sure the characteristics are consistent. I also will propagate it and make sure there are many divisions to distribute-nothing worse than publishing a cultivar that nobody can have!

If everything is stable, I think we definitely have a new champion favorite coming!

I think this particular plant outdoes both its parents. Excellent plant!

[meizwang]

thanks hcarlton and brokken!

Here's some more pics that I took at night:

Stunning, I'll bet you have a waitlist a mile long already.
