Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Little-known species from South Africa blooming earlier than most of the species and hybrids. When you couple this (nothing like coupling!) with the saturated pink profuse flowers, it more than compensates for the small size. It's not the size of the worm.....that's what I tell Sue anyway.
