My own hybrids

‘Archibald’ – hybrid of ‘Splendide’ x P. ovale ssp hyalinum, 2011.

Two of my hybrids from 2020; the left one with small flowers is ‘Jace’ – a seedling of P. tricolor white form. And the one to the right with larger flowers is ‘Keanu’ – a seedling of ‘Splendide’

Below are some photos of my collection back in 2013.
One of my hybrids that I haven’t kept is ‘Baldric’ (‘Renate Parsley’ x P. ovale ssp. hyalinum).
‘White Splendide’ I don’t know the origin of, but I hope to get it back in my collection.
