Could this be anything but good with such fine parents? Glorious flowers begin as buds of deep pink, opening to a delicate soft pink, gradually changing to fluffy white. Good foliage with light indumentum. A newer hybrid from Jim Elliott of Astoria, Oregon. ('Britannia' x degronianum ssp. yakushimanum)
