Nerine 'Clent Charm'



9th October 2014


This is supposed to be a hybrid between N. bowdenii and N. pudica raised by Tony Norris. It is described online as having "wide, un-crisped salmon tepals in a trumpet shape" (Cotswold Garden Flowers) which is what I would expect from the hybrid. All of which leads me to the conclusion that this is not the real thing.
If this is the real thing then it is an interesting hybrid. If it is a selection of N. sarniensis then it is a poor one.
