Description

This has deep orange flowers with a polished deep-bronze basal zone running up the tube, and continuing as fine stripes on the polished exterior.

This has been difficult to obtain but this new seed-raised stock is both more vigorous and cheaper than the old, virused stock that was in the trade.

Raising from seed means that there is a slight degree of variation, as this is not clonal, but we have had some delightful yellow-primrose plants appearing, still with the characteristic bronze feathering, which in itself is also slightly variable.
