Updated with some more info I received from Aleksej.
This plant is issued from seeds received from SRGC under the name of P. emodi which is obviously not. It could either be a hybrid (maybe between mlokosewitschii and caucasica) or something else.

In my experiences with Gerhard Raschun I’ve found he’s a reliable person with good plants so I think they will both be true species plants.

I’ll try looking it up, but I…Read More
