The two genera are difficult enough to distinguish, so it is a peculiar act of taxonomic malice
to hybridise them. Lets just say it forces us to pay proper attention to the details! Zephyranthes 'Labuffarosea' x Habranthus robustus the hybrid is as vigorous and floriferous as either of its parents. Plant Delights say: "And now, for something completely different...to borrow a Monty Python line. This is probably the first offering of the rare bigeneric cross of Zephyranthes 'Labuffarosea' x Habranthus robustus. Z. 'Norma Pearl' was created by rain lily guru Paul Niemi and named after his mother. The fast-multiplying bulbs form a robust clump of thick grey-green leaves, topped throughout most of the summer by 3" wide, nearly pure white flowers that are intermediate between both parents." |
