Gold with green throat, and faint midrib, 2foot variegated foliage, shorter scapes dark with red pink green and white scapes and buds, faint dark lines on back of bloom
thick sturdy blooms on very sturdy scapes
17 petals...Flore Pleno ??
12" plant, pale yellow flower, wine eye zone
30 " plus vigourous plant, orange bloom with red eyezone. Self fertile
I believe the cultivars you are referring to as "Flore Pleno" is, FP. It looks almost exactly like the one I currently grow along with both the green and variegated "Kwanso" clones.
The orange open form single with the red eye reminds me of what was sold to me a H. fulva var rosea "Rosalind", who is supposed to be pink! It is also self fertile. Somewhere on PN there is a discussion about "Rosalind" and I am thinking there is mention made of who my impostor could be.
Sandra Nelson is a trained horticulturist, artist, athlete and tomboy gardener, ingrained with a deep love of nature. Add to this mix a strong sense of family and community, and you capture the essence of Sandra.
For this third generation Victoria resident and mother of three, gardening is the thread that ties together her many passions, because, Sandra knows that gardens make everyone bloom.
At a young age Sandra fell under the spell of plants; realizing that gardens would be her life’s journey. Working with plants, constructing gardens, and observing the creatures that share them is the fervor she will always carry.
Sandra,

Thanks Rebecca, I agree I think Floro Pleno is correct. I now have both Floro Pleno and Kwanso.
ReplyDeleteI will check the Rosalind post on the Pollenation forum.
