Rhodohypoxis 'Albrighton'



Archive entry 11.06.17

A good intense pink flowered form. Very vigorous. Raised by Susan Garnett-Botfield when she lived in the village of Albrighton in Shropshire.

From PlantzAfrica I learnt that:

"Graham Duncan (2003) recounts the story of a parcel of dry turfy material arriving at Mrs Garnett-Botfield's home in England. In the first year a single red-flowered plant of Rhodohypoxis flowered, and the following year a white-flowered plant appeared. Amazingly, many of the R. baurii cultivars presently popular in horticulture originated from these two plants. There are many named cultivars available from commercial nurseries in the northern hemisphere though sadly not here in South Africa.
