Ren. Mem. Robin Musolino
This is a picture of the plant that Jim Clarkson has named
after Robin. It's a first bloom seedling of a cross Jim made
about five years ago. It is a primary cross of Renanthera bella
(which was first described as a new species in 1981) and Renanthera
imshootiana ( which was first described as a new species in 1891).
Over the years, Jim has used the flasks of this cross in
many of his lectures on deflasking, giving the deflasked seedlings to those
present at these lectures. Fortunately he was wise enough to keep a
few for himself. Jim says that he is in the process of sending one of
the plants to Robin's family.
I can't wait to see what happens when it grows up, looking
forward to some AOS awards on this one.
