Yesterday...
And today...
Are there many named Tunilla hybrids around? I have "Fuchs" and "Pinsel" in addition to the above, all three are lovely plants to grow.

Re: Tunilla "Sonnenglut"
I am no longer convinced Pinsel is a hybrid. Having obtained a few plants with data from the same region as the ‘hintonii’ plant they seem to display varying length and colour glochids and Pinsel would fit nicely alongside them.

Re: Tunilla "Sonnenglut"
These are all more likely to be selections than hybrids, not least because the botanical names for these plants are next to useless so a cultivar handle is useful for nice clones.

Re: Tunilla "Sonnenglut"
I agree with Mike and Phil. These tunilla (or airampoa, if you prefer ) are cultivars: particular clones from habitat that have been grown on in cultivation and given cultivar names. Indeed tilcarensis cv. Fuchs and a real cracker is erectoclada cv. Firework, an outstanding bright orange flower.

Re: Tunilla "Sonnenglut"
Aah, yes, that is a useful distinction to have clear in one's mind! In actual fact, the label does say "cv" - but in my head I just made these hybrids...
Do we know where cv Sonnenglut originates? Tony, if you grow cv Firework and it flowers please do post a picture!
