Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A choice Peter Erskine introduction from the Falklands , (I believe Kath Dryden actually named it), Sheffield Swan was his boat that was sunk by an exocet missle, Peter has been out to the nursery and stands out as one of the best plantsmen I have ever met. Large white flowers with a green eye, it is a bit slow to increase but worth the wait.
