Nursery contributed plant descriptions

In my humble opinion (shared with many others!) – this species displays some of the most beautiful flowers in the genus. When this species is in flower, all guided tours are taken down the somewhat out of the way path at the very far end of the garden to see it in all of its magnificent glory. The flowers are a clear shell pink in color with no spotting or other markings. Although not individually large, they hang in large clusters. From our own hand-pollinated seed.
