Hybrid flower.

What is Hybrid?

Plants that are hybrids are listed with an x after the genus name like Gerbera x hybrid. This tells you it is a cross within that genus but doesn't specify the two parent species, probably because it is not known. This is called a specific or interspecific cross because it is two species crossed from within a genus.
Intergenic crosses are between species from different genera but the same family. Belamcanda flabellata and Belamcanda chinensi by Orchid Lily (Pardanthopsis dichotoma) to get x Pardancanda. (The "x" comes first to show an intergenetic cross)
Most fuchsias are the result of breeding between many species, much of it undocumented. F. magellanica and F. fulgens appear to be the primary parents of traditional garden hybrid fuchsia plants, though perhaps up to10 other species may have been involved later.
F. triphylla probably crossed with F boliviana and then with F. fulgens and F splendens giving rise to the the group known as the Triphylla Hybrids.

If we decide to create a hybrid fuchsia we could take a seed parent, the female, and a pollen parent, the male from two species with traits we liked. We would grow the first generation to see what traits appear. Then we might breed back to a parent or with another fuchsia species.
Fuchsia spp designates a species plant.
Fuchsia spp var. - a variant within the species. Like we can have both brown & blue eyes as variants within our species.

Cultivar tells us it is a named variety maintained in cultivation. It is abbreviated cv. for "cultivated variety". It means that however this plant is reproduced it will retain its distinguishing characteristics. The importance of this designation is that the traits are registered under that name and will always be the same.

hi Steve

I can see that you composed this shot with blur BG in mind and it works well to show the flower macro nicely. Your ISO400 probably gives a little noise on this image.

On my screen, the sharpness on the flower petals vary slightly.

Tobpinai...

Na, lawa bah kaler! Tarang lagi. Suka sia tingu moti itu merah cukup kontras sama itu hijau. Kombinasi cantik punya kaler ni... lawa.

Err... bos, sia mo kongsi sikit pasal sharpening. Masa proses gambar, kalau boleh elakkan terlebih sharpening kio. Sebab, dalam gambar ko yang ini, kalau diperhati edges itu bunga sama daun macam ada garisan tambahan, salah satu kesan yang boleh terjadi bila oversharpen. Yang lain semua ok bos.

Regards,
Ramdan.
:) :) bisuk kio
