Hi Bob, yesterday in the night, I took a look into the large Chasmanthe/Crocosmia book by Peter Goldblatt and John Manning (published in 2004). 'Paul's Best Yellow' is not mentioned in the cv list there. As I can hardly imagine that Goldblatt/Manning could have overlooked a more common cv, it was either a rather unknown and obscure cv at that time, or it has been bred and/or introduced somewhen during the 20 years which have passed since the release of the book. Some Dutch traders indeed call it „a recent introduction“. However, it can't have happened that very late: According to this site, Cotswold have sold it in 2007 already: http://johnjearrard.co.uk/plants/crocosmia/… And the last picture description there says that Ken Ridgely was the breeder. According to several sources, he is from South Africa. Maybe there is somebody at PBS who is in contact with him and could ask him who Paul is or was? Best regards from Germany, Roland (PBS forum: Kasbek) -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: [pbs] Crocosmia 'Paul's Best Yellow' Datum: 2024-06-20T19:18:02+0200 Von: "Bob Pries via pbs" <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> An: "pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net" <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On my first attempt I have not figured out how to post to the forum. Maybe that is what I am doing now? I curious as to who is Paul and does anyone know more about this crocosmia? I will include a picture. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
