Bell-shaped, lax trusses are white with a blush of pink. Gorgeous, small rounded leaves are waxy and blue-green forming a compact, rounded plant.

A must for collectors of roundleaved Rhodies. The blue green waxy foliage is very round and plentiful on these mounded plants. The lax trusses have bell-shaped white flowers with a blush of pink from the bud. Let it ring, this plant is great! (williamsianum x orbiculare)
