Seed parent: MM 17-94d ((G. priorii x gracilis) x carinatus) X unknown

Pollen parent: MM 10-35 (G. tristis X trichomenifolius)

MM 21-492a. Both this and form b have a very distinct stripe in the midrib of each tepal.

MM 21-492b. Nice color, but the flowers are quite narrow.

MM 21-492c. No stripe, but a nice wide flower and it's a lovely vibrant magenta color.

A couple of very attractive flowers. Form a looks less colorful because its photo was taken in shade.

MM 21-403a. A pleasant soft red flower, on a robust stem thanks to G. watsonius. Blooms in late December in California, just in time for Christmas.
