Hi all, it´s no wonder after i was able to cross D. ascendens ("Bandeira Peak") with D. tomentosa var. tomentosa (´Morro Do Jambeiro, Minas Gerais, Brazil´) some time ago that the reciprocal crossing should work as well. I waited with showing pictures of that crossing until the plants have grown up to majority. So here are the resulting plants of D. tomentosa var. tomentosa x ascendens. In my eyes the plants look almost identical, the leaf shape, the hainess on the lower side of the leafes, the size of the plants and the hairness of the flower scapes seem to be almost the same. I will show new pictures when the flowers will have opened. And here are the pictures of D. tomentosa var. tomentosa x ascendens and for comparison i took also some pictures of D. ascendens x tomentosa var. tomentosa side by side to the new crossing. on the left is the new crossing and again alone Best regards, Dani
