P. gigantea "purple flower" x emarginata "large red rosette"

[dvg]

Received this plant recently from Cole Bonfield, the creator of this crossing.

A shot from a earlier today of the newest flower to open on clone #16.



There are a few of these clones, from among the fifty or so that Cole made in this crossing, floating around Canada in various collections.

Below is a thread i started about a couple of my clones, #8 and #16.

They probably won't be quite like this, but nice to have a reference of what some of my SG gigantea x emarginata might look like.

Hi hcarlton.

First off, congrats to you on making this cross.

Just curious to know if you also used the same clone parents to make your cross.

Feel free to share some pics and updates of your clone(s) here; the more, the merrier.

Here are a few shots from today of my two clones from this crossing by Bonfield, #8 and #16.

From above, #8 on top, #16 below.



These leaf pulls from my #8 mother plant are now flowering.



A #8 flower.



A closer look at the rosette of clone #16.



And lastly, an older #16 flower in full sunlight.

There is no clonal designation for the plants I used, I only know that the gigantea has purple flowers and the emarginata can develop fairly strong red coloration in the center and leaf edges. No flowers yet, but photos of one of the plants is already in my Ping photo thread.

A newer flower from earlier today on clone #16,



as well as an older flower on the very same red leaved rosette.
