Semi-Cactus · 10–12"PinkWalt and Cory Wynne (2005)United States
Bright pink and coral swirl across petals the size of your hand, with softer salmon tips that catch late-afternoon light. The pointed petals hold their shape for days, so one stem becomes the centerpiece everyone else has to build around. Exhibitors bring it to the show bench when they want the head judges remember. It was bred in United States by Walt and Cory Wynne in 2005.

Growing Wyn's King Salmon
You will need heavy stakes sunk early, because heads this big will snap a thin cane the first time a storm rolls through. Pinch above the fourth leaf pair to push out side stems, then disbud hard once buds form so the energy lands in one head per stem. Feed steadily through summer and cut deep when you harvest, all the way back to a fresh pair of leaves.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
