| | Buckley's description as quoted by T. Moore: "has the colour of both parents beautifully blended, the petals gracefully reflexed, especially the lower series giving the impression of two corollas. in common with 'Rollissonii' and 'Cupreum', it has the short, angular seed vessel and straight stamens proper to its female parent; in habit this one is more slender than the other two, but it is still nearer the male parent than the female parent; in size it is intermediate. Moore's description: "rose-purple, petals narrowly oblong, tapering to an elongated acute point; filaments and style straight; ovary angular." SRL description: pendant, symmetrical, fuchsia-pink and red blooms. Petals have silvery bases, silvery pink throats suffusing light fuchsia pink darkening bright magenta red to scarlet red. Lower petals larger, longer, exhibiting more red. Petals are lanceolate with acute tips recurving with maturity. Tubes are silvery white flushed light purplish pink. Filaments are straight, white flushed light purplish pink, paler near the grey-white pollen coated anthers. Style is magenta red with a lighter hued stigma barely emerging from the anther cluster. | |
