Rhodohypoxis (baurii platypetala x milloides)



I was interested to see the hybrid, though it doesn't seem to add anything distinctive or original to the cultivars available, but that is the fun of hybrids - you never quite know!

I bought it from Aberconwy Nursery. Their label says:

"Long flowering South African tufted plant. Deep pink flowers with lighter centres. Full sun in acid or neitral scree, peat bed ot trough. May-Aug. 50-10cm. Dormant in winter."
