Alessandro,

a very uncommon colour for a "bulb". Do you know which grower does this cross?

Hi Alessandro,
we grow that form here in Central Victoria and I was told it originates from this area; not sure how accurate that is.
Here's a link to where I posted a pic in March at reply #440: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=249.435 (http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=249.435)
I'd be intersted to know if anyone has furthered the late Mr Robinette's work in breeding yellow and orange into this range of hybrids!
cheers
