Title: Pleione formosana f alba
Post by: Maren on April 27, 2011, 08:36:38 AM

Hi,

just read through last year's entries on a similar subject to try to solve the controversy regarding Pleione formosana 'Snow Cap'. I bought a few from Jacques Amand recently and they were invoiced as Pleione formosana 'Polar Sun'. Looking at pictures of both, they look remarkably similar. Is Snow Cap a synonym for Polar Sun?

I borrowed some pictures from the web to illustrate my question.

I flowered both this year and could see no difference.

Three Pleione x taliensis clones. One from Ian Butterfield that I showed previously and two more that have appeared in a pan of P. aurita. These are confirmed as they arrived by a legitimate mix up in my order.

1. Ian Butterfields
2. White throated
3. Yellow throated

Edit - Oops thought this was the Pleione 2011 thread and don't know how to move it now. ???
