Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sweet little bicolored Rosocea of pink and white with flowers reminiscent of some sort of orchid. These are descendants from our collection and Diana Reeck's collection from the same mountainside in Yunnan. This is our favorite form of the species and it will self-sow just right.
