A few years ago I managed to get seed set on the orange red form of Rhodophiala bifida (see above) using pollen of the ox-blood red form. The first seedling flowered this week and is halfway between the two in color
There are a few more to flower this year
cheers

Hi Roland,
This is a beauty especially because it persists in our garden without much assistance from us!
We do water the areas where it grows in the summer sometimes,

I have them in pots (they don't really like that) but I will try next year in the garden Roland

Rhodophiala bifida is in flower in 3 different colors
This pink form is from seed sent by a SRGC Forumist from Argentina flowering for the first time
This orange-red one was from a commercial source
This ox-blood red one is from a friend
cheers
