Description
An exciting Greatorex double which we offered for the first time only in 1999 (and not that frequently since) though it stems from a much earlier breeding.
This is a robust plant with well-placed, double, white blooms, each with a dense, tight, central frill, marked with green. The green marking is a tight, well-defined, inverted horseshoe which does not spread very far up the petal which it marks. In the centre, the innermost portions of the frill can usually be relied upon to have a trace of pollen at their edges (visible in our pictures). This can happen in some of the other Greatorex doubles (when the plants have been transplanted or otherwise stressed), however it happens in mature and established plants of Titania.
It is tricky on paper, to elucidate the differences that are so self-evident when the plant is in flower in front of you but the regularity and symmetry of the frill (usually containing over a dozen petals and exceptionally I have counted 15) coupled with the rarity of any deviation from the norm, seem to be characteristics of this clone which is the latest of the Greatorex doubles to flower here. It also consistently has a conical-tubular ovary whilst the others that we grow have more rounded ovaries.
