Is this a hybrid you created yourself? Looks nice. :)

Not personally big on most neps, but that said I've never seen a spectabilis cross I didn't like. Even still, this is one of the better ones I've seen and wouldn't mind having. I actually can't think of a single other cross offhand that looks very similar to this one, which is honestly a minor achievement in itself.

No i got it from PP 4 years ago and have been growing it out.

@NightRaider, yeah i got lucky. I will have to trim it next spring for sure. It growth rate is about 80% of a pure sanguinea so it should be very quickly rooted

Nice, keep me in mind then if/when you end up taking cuttings. I may be pushing the limits of what space I have, but I'm sure I could make room for one somewhere.

Yeah, keep me in mind too. That's a really nice hybrid. And it sounds like it's easy!
