Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A real cutie! The plant looks R. pemakoense and the flower looks like leucaspis. It buds heavily and very young. The buds peek out showing a touch of pink then open to white flowers, while still retaining a kiss of soft pink. A bonus is the deep brown anthers that contrast with the white.
