Tash the Narelle and magenta are both neos and both Alan Freeman hybrids. the first one he named after his wife Narelle. He did some very wonderful stuff mostly with concentrica hybrids. Unfortunately I don't have the parents of those two but I'm sure they would be registered and therefore on FCBS. his hybrid was called narelle. if you self pollinate this plant with its own pollen it then becomes narelle F2 meaning it is a second version of it. I'm not sure if selfing it again makes an F3. We have narelle and we have narelle F2.

I have attached a photo of neo narelle grown in full sun. The sun brings out some wonderful colours. This is one of our favourite neos.
