Sorry Mark. Never heard of that one. Do you have a pic from somewhere?

It was shown at RHS Show by Mr. I. Betteridge.
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

There's a plant apparently identical in NZ for the last couple or 3 years. It has a Japanese name. I lost my plant - 5 mins sunshine and it burned up - and I've mislaid the label too.
