Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very attractive small plant originated by Peter Cox in Scotland. A vigorous plant that flowers freely without hesitation. Some consider it superior to its sister plant, 'Phalarope'. It is a delightful very light pink. Since it came from Cox in Scotland, you know it has to be good. (pemakoense x davidsonianum)
