A large, loose flowered Greatorex double with a sizeable green mark on each of the inner tepals.
My small clump is a little patch of delight at the start of the year and I am inclined
to overlook the fact that the doubles raised by Heyrick Greatorex are almost indistinguishable.
This one is said to have slightly rolled edges to the inner segments, and it may be true. It also has a distinctive green mark
, but I am less convinced about its significance. The flowers in my little clump are quite
variable. I think I could probably find flowers typical of all the Greatorex varieties
among their number. They are all grown from a single bulb, it was labelled 'Lavinia'
and that is going to be good enough for me. When asked how I identify 'Lavinia' I am happy to reply
that it is the one that says 'Lavinia' on the label.
