Rating for this plant:
Attractive, with pale Orange flowers closely resembling those of C. Masoniorum but with Yellow centre. It was supplied to Bridgemere Nurseries under a wrong cultivar name by a Dutch supplier, and was given a suitable new name before being put on sale. (C. Saunders. Pers. Comm. 1998). What an amazing plant this is, again a favourite of mine!!
