Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

Rubescent Magic (Pot. Rubescence x Lc. Tokyo Magic) has 4-5 impressive flowers with great colour, size and shape per inflorescence, all from a compact growing plant. Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) has quickly become a notable breeder at SVO. It flowers twice a year in 3” pots. The sturdy stems hold 2-4 bright red flowers of excellent form and substance. The expectation is for strong stems of 3-4 flowers with colours in dark red with darker flaring, as well as a pleasant shape on compact growing plants 7-9” tall.  We like how each of these plants breeds, and we believe the combination of these will give excellent results.
