Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large trusses of light pink flowers with prominent purple spotting on the upper lobe. Good backdrop plant as it grows into an upright, spreading form.

By: Bloom River Gardens

Upright, spreading habit and medium large leaves are a lovely backdrop to the dome shaped trusses of large light pink flowers with heavy purple spotting on the dorsal lobe. Flowers are so large they are flattened once open. A lovey, fast growing hybrid! ('George Hardy' x red hybrid)
