Zara × Michelle is a well-known complex hybrid from DocBlock. To my knowledge, the iconic purple- and red-emergent forms trace back to the late Tim Anderson’s Wonderboy lineage. This lineage is speculated to include, at least in part, genetics from magnificum and crystallinum.

My plant displays exceptionally long-lasting purple emergents. As the leaves fully expand, they initially present a lighter, pink-toned coloration before hardening off to a deeper, darker hue with pronounced purple undertones. The plant is further distinguished by striking pink roots and a purple inflorescence.

a hybrid between NSE Dorito port x papillilaminum RLFS ('Ralph Lynam' x 'Fort Sherman'). This plant has a beautiful first red, than oil-slicked emergents, dark red backs and very prominent orange veins when the leaves are emerging. The hybrid originates from Teo Le.
