Fuchsiarius | R. Theo Margelony @fuchsiarius.bsky.social · 13/08/2026What’s flowering at the Fuchsietum? ×Gordlinia grandiflora is an interesting intergeneric hybrid made in 2003 at the Department of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University. 1/4 120
Fuchsiarius | R. Theo Margelony @fuchsiarius.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s a cross between Franklinia alatamaha and Gordonia lasianthus with larger flowers than either parent that have a light, sweet scent. It might eventually reach about 15 to maybe 20 ft (4.5-6 m) for me. 2/4 100
Fuchsiarius | R. Theo Margelony @fuchsiarius.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Gordlinia is often billed as the “mountain” Gordlinia as a supposed common name. It’s a nod, I suppose, to the involvement of the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research & Extension Center in North Carolina. 3/4 100
