Honourable Mention Potsize - 1L A variety with a very nice form to the flower, the rounded falls having a generous scooped profile with the tip descending with just the right amount of twist.

Whereas all other pink cultivars seem to come in shades of salmon-pink, this one really is a strong raspberry pink. It is well ruffled, well sized and has large blotches inside each [...]
