Description

A gorgeous new, accidental hybrid, released for the first time only in 2019.

This has shiny, deeply impressed foliage which is more or less identical to P. wittmanniana however the root system is like P. officinalis with its very characteristic, long slender roots each of which is individually thicker towards the middle.

The flower is a large, wide chalice of the softest white (usually) revealing, inside, a hint of the colouring of the officinalis parent in the form of a soft, blush pink haze around the gorgeous wine-purple anther filaments bearing golden anthers and pollen. The carpels have purple tips.

Though most are of the colouring illustrated, please understand that in some plants, the floral colouring is darker and there are also a few pink-flowered plants in this stock, (a tad closer to the officinalis parent) this is just natural variability. Whatever the shade, this is perfect colouring and a very beautiful plant. Incidentally P. wittmanniana was the seed parent.
