One of the larger flowered forms. Given an award by the Royal Dutch Bulbgrowers in 1998. Paul Christian (Rare Plants) sats: "A lovely strong clone, selected in the Netherlands, with broad, richly coloured, deep purple-violet flowers borne on 30-35 cm stems. Each flower (there is one per stem) can reach 4 cm both across and high. Grows well in most garden situations and is notable in having very “fleshy†roots though it is rightly esteemed for its deep colouring and lovely wide lip. A vigorous plant which grows and flowers well. Awarded in 1998 by the KAVB ( Royal Dutch Bulb Growers ) and the best form we have seen." |
