P. Rakata x P. Matupi. Raised by Ian Butterfield and registered in 1990. A strange little plant with a wealth of plangent pink in its ancestry, yet managing to reflect a touch of soft yellow from P. x confusa. I first saw the plant in the background of a television report from one of the RHS shows. As ever, the report involved a lot of wittering and very little useful information (yes I know, pot, kettle etc). This shy nodding blushed apricot flower was the outstanding thing in the picture and it took some time to find out what it was. This year I was able to buy one from Ian Butterfield and it has been as good as I remembered. |
