DND's All Seeds Swap #9 (2022) - poisondartfrog - Red Flowered - I've been chasing red flowered H. cannabinus for years. Will share these, just purchased from a source I've never used before. Maybe these are the real deal?

DND's All Seeds Swap #9 (2022) - poisondartfrog - pale yellow/cream - Collected 2022. This is not the big white flowered one I've offered for the last few years. I bought seeds for a "yellow" flowered one to try and this is it. This one is not as yellow as I expected. It is yellow in bud, creamy once open. The photo was taken just before dawn and is a bit more yellow than in daylight. The habit is different as well; more branching. The flowers are slightly smaller. I don't doubt it is H. cannabina, though. Still tall and imposing.
