You just mentioned the parents. Although this clone looks more
spectacular than most, it is a simple SXflava x leucophylla. And judging
from the photo, I would say the flava parent is the "cut throat"
(rugelii) variety. Pretty plants like this one are what make Sarr
hybridizing such an art; you could make this same cross with several
different parents and still never create something so spectacular. For
those of you that have ordered Dr.Mellichamp's "Ladies-in-Waiting" and
"Dixie Lace," you'll be getting the product of an artist's efforts. Can
you tell I like these plants?

All the best,
Stefan
