{Disarmed} Hyb: Intaglio X Sky Wings

Dennis,
 
Lexicon has yet to produce pollen of any color though it did manage to set seed with something its first year. (I'm guessing it may have crossed with a nearby sibling.)
 
I've checked stems on the Siberian type hybrids and found a number with solid rather than hollow stems but I've never thought to check pollen color. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to add it to my list of things to do this year.
 
Just to muddy the waters a bit..... This kid is from a batch out of Intaglio (JI-type F1 JI x SIB) X Sky Wings. Note the dark purple lines through the signal. This and its sisters grow in an area with poorer soil and less water than my Siberians. "20" has become a favorite for the wide range of color it throws.
 
Whether it's a convincing hybrid or not it's never failed to put on a show.
