CHAPTER 5

- Epiphyllum x 'Bozo' -

 

This hybrid was obtained by George French and registered in 1997 in the E.S.A. register.

Its pedigree is: Ep. x 'Clown' x Ep. x 'Lady Ruffles'.

Its flower is classified as size L.

This hybridizer and pedigree are found in several descendants of Ep. x 'Clown'.

 

 

Here are 4 pictures of Ep. x 'Bozo' taken in 2019 and 2020.

 

 

 

I find this hybrid particularly successful both in the shape and arrangement of the petals

as well as in the delicacy of the colour shades.

 

This hybrid is worthy of Bozo the Clown, a fictional American clown character

who reached the height of his fame in the 1960s,

thanks to a major television presence

in the early days of television.
