Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very rarely cultivated member of Subsection Triflora. Smallish, somewhat leathery leaves and white flushed pink to rose-lavender flowers in early spring. Some consider this a stabilized hybrid between the species yunnanense and racemosum which are often found growing together in the wild. These are grown from seed collected in the wild. Nice shiny foliage on these young plants.
