The name tillianum didn't register with me, so I had to look it up. I guess I have seen it before, but not too often. Nice red flower - do you think it will open more or not enough heat?

All I can say is-- It's a beauty

Good growing Aajoo

Thank you Bill and Daiv
Daiv. Tillianum, Oenanthemum and Ambatoense (white flower) are very close species (may be the same...). Tillianum comes from tillianum Sierra Ambato (west zone) while oenanthemum comes from Sierra Ambato (south-east zone). Perhaps the only way to distinguish them is to observe the seed's shape...

That is a nice one Davide, I bought a small one of these about a year ago, no flower yet tho', so I'm hoping next season will be the time.
