| E.B. Hoare Notes: A6-6-6 | 'Orange Bell No. 2' was received by Des Ellery of Buena Vista Nurseries from Phil Knight. Possibly a different cv. or possibly a sport. Differs from the original in color intensity, flower length, petal widths and ovary receptacle length. Hoare described the color intensity as twice as deep as the original 'Orange Bell'. Completely different flower and plant than cv. 'Gaelyn'. |
