Fantasy Flowers

 Ok, we have a particularly good crop of fantasy flowers going at the  home of S. J. The color on this one is even MORE vivid in person, but this gives you a pretty good idea anyway. this is Neil's Jammin'.
 Another cool photo.... This one is one of my favorites. How about Neil's Wam Bam???
 Yet another fabulous flower.... these three are hybridized by Neil's Streps. Here's Neil's Masquerade, a nice yellow throat with this one!
 Here is one of Frozen Flamingo Farms hybrids..... it's even a little more than three inches across. I am not quite sure if it's actually a large flowering strep, or if S. J. puts something in the water. I think it's probably the later. What this photo doesn't quite capture is the orange tone to this one. We're starting to see some "interesting colors" being created.
This is hybridizing itself???? The pod shouldn't be forming when the flower is still this fresh. Something weird is always in the plant room just waiting for a curious "plant geek" to find it.

Thanks to S. J. for letting my photograph the flowers.
