1984 Van der Post (NL) (data by NKvV*)
Trailer, Single
Vincent van Gogh makes a superb hanging basket/pot quickly.
The flower is approx. 4 cm long, appearing in clusters at the end of branches.
The tube is salmon pink, sepals are beige and corolla is lavender rose.
Foliage is medium green.
Vincent van Gogh has an interesting genealogy (Data by Fuchsia CD-ROM from
MöhltiMedia publishing).
Vincent van Gogh |
F. speciosa |
F. splendens |
F. fulgens |
F. fulgens var. rubra grandiflora |
|
|
Unlike F. fulgens and its variety which appear as the pollen parent and
grandfather in its genealogy, Vincent van Gogh blooms relatively early
in season. I guess
F. splendens might play some role in this.
F. splendens
is found in flower throughout the year in its native habitant and tends
to bloom during the darker months in Great Britain.
