The World’s First Kalanchoe porphyrocalyx x blossfeldiana?

I am hosting a market on the first-ever bloom of this unique hybrid seedling.

The Pedigree:

  • Mother: Kalanchoe porphyrocalyx (Known for pendant, bell-shaped purple/pink flowers).

  • Father (Likely): Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (Known for upright, flat-petaled clusters in vivid colors).

The Evidence: Based on the leaf morphology (see attached photo), the hybrid vigor is apparent. The leaves show a blend of the father's thickness and the mother's distinct scalloping.

The Bet: How will the flower manifest? Will it inherit the pendant "bell" shape of the mother or the upright "star" shape of the father?

Resolution Criteria: I will resolve this market based on a high-resolution photo of the fully opened bloom.

  • Porphyrocalyx-leaning: Flowers hang downward (pendant).

  • Blossfeldiana-leaning: Flowers face upward or outward (upright).

  • Intermediate: A distinct 45-degree angle or a shape that equally blends both.

  • Entirely different: none of the above

Closing Date: Betting closes in 14 days—well before the petals unfurl. Place your bets now before the shape shows!
