Author Message   Toshio  Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 05:24 pm EST :    The following picotee flowers are blooming now in my garden. I like picotee flowers very much. What is your favourite one? Toshio - Yokohama,Japan, Zone "?"   Toshio  Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 05:26 pm EST :    A couple of more picotee ones.

If pushed I would say that of the first set of pictures that pics 2,3 and 5 would be my favourites. The green toned flower in the third picture would get my number one vote. Excellent colour variation and shape and the dark nectaries add to an almost perfect flower. Would I be correct in assuming that the plant was bred using a species as one parent?

They are all beautiful though. Thanks for sharing. mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"   Malgorzata  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 08:28 pm EST :    May I have them all, please!!! Especially the ones with dark nectaries!

But I like the second, third, and fifth ones especially. Is the second flower the same one that you use for your profile picture? Peppa - WA, Zone "8"   Matthias  Supporting Member Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 02:48 am EST :    Great photography, Toshio! I would keep them all (and some of them in the long run, I guess) and my personal ranking would be: No 4, No 2, No 5, the rest is undecided. The striped nectaries are indicative of certain species influence, even if you didn't use species in your crosses producing these plants.

Jeff, I hear the flower in the third photo is a H.torquatus hybrid. Peppa-san, the flower in the second photo looks like the same one as my profile photo. But, it is different. The flower of my profile picture, which has the striped nectaries, is as follows: It might show a certain species influence, as Matthias pointed out.

I love them all, and would be very happy to have them in my garden.

This is my picotee specimen and one of my favourites. Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Toshio  Posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 04:34 pm EST :    Ann, your veined and picotee flower is beautiful. And the shape is good, too.

This year, I even found anemone centered picotees with a picotee necklace of nectaries! (I called this one "Purple Rain", lol...) and this paler one with a lovely necklace too! Zephirine - Rhone-Alpes, Zone "7B"   Toshio  Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 04:40 am EST :    Anne-Marie, your anemone centered picotees are very nice. The necklaces of nectaries are lovely as well. Please take a look at my anemone centered picotee. Toshio - Yokohama,Japan, Zone "?"
