Hi,

I've had this seedling for a number of years now and it finally decided to
bloom. :-) I had hoped that it would have a strong tigrinum influence,
even as much as lowii has in Julius, but roth seems to be a very dominant
presence, at least in this individual...

Umm. Doesn't look like it is even possible to be a roth x tigrinum. At
least to my eye. It is a roth hybrid, no doubt about that, and a nice
flower. There are a lot of mislabelled roth hybrids out there. Problem
is a) some people got a little over anxious to sell things with roth as
a parent, and mainly b) they take so damn long to bloom and tags get
switched over time. Some sellers were notoriously worse than others at
labelling their crosses, so it would be interesting to find out where
this one came from.
