Nerine 'Clarabel'
29th October 2020
A white hybrid with a thin coral-red midstripe on the tepals that suggest the involvement of N.pudica in its ancestry.
Raised by Tony Norris from 'Margaret Rose' pollinated by 'Moscow SP'. Norris describes it as:
"A most beautiful white with half inch wide segments and a strong deep salmon line in the centre. The throat is purest white.
Ten florets on an eighteen inch stem and a unique flower with several florets carrying seven segments."
