Ciao Matteo,
che splendido spettacolo di colori. Grazie per gli fare vedere qui.
Zu Foto 8, das war eine Frage. Richtig wäre: Andere Schick-Hybriden auf dem Balkon, es geht auch mit weitere Schick... Andere Pflanzen meint zum Beispiel: Geranien,Tomaten and so on.
I'll go on in english, as it might be easier for you to understand my questions. How long do these flowers last on a hot and sunny day where you live ? And my last question, do you have a picture of "Marisa's son" ?
Thanks in advance for your answer. best regards from Volgan
Grazie Volgan! I got it, I hope I will remember it next time I'm about to use it!
When it is very hot they last "one day", I mean from night (most are night blooming) to mid afternoon. At 4 pm petals are almost completely faded. consider today it was 36°C and my plants have sun all day. Sometimes I keep the pot indoor during the day so they last one day more. As regards Mirage, it was about to bloom last weekend, but I was on vacation for 3 days and didn't want to miss it, so I placed the pot in the cellar/cantine (cool place, little light) and finally it bloomed just when I was back!
btw, I've been to Stintino in Sardinien, beach La Pelosa, a wonderful place. there were Germans too!
...how do you know about "marisa's son"?? Marisa was one of my first hybrids, well.. Marisa is the name of the woman who gave me the kindel, and I used that nice hybrid for my first crosses, so I had many seedlings from it and a few have bloomed, one of it I named the picture "Marisa's son"! So far sons are not better that the mother! here you are the hybrid I sometimes called "Marisa's son" and then here you are Marisa!
gute nacht to alles!
