Not finished yet! I chipped A LOT of things in 2022, which are just now making nice potfuls
Customer-favourite cyclamineus hybrids are not forgotten in our debutantes:
BABY GANNET 6 W-W/Y
Bred From Snipe x Candlepower, Baby Gannet is named for similarity of the colouring of the corona to that of a gannet, grading gradually from lemon at the mouth to white at the base. The perianth is gracefully reflexed, overlapping at the base, while the corona flares gently to a frill at the mouth. Flowering at only 14cm high, it is small enough for miniature classes, and as a bonus, has a light, fresh scent.
POLAR WIND 6 W-W
Bred from Mitzy x Keira hybrid KB-M-1-2007, this is a favourite here for its strongly swept back, sharply pointed perianth. Flowering at 12cm high, it usually opens straight away as a clean white colour, and the long, straight corona is expanded at the mouth into jagged lobes. The whole spiky effect suggested an icy name! I need to bulk this up another year before I can offer any.
LITTLE ENGLAND 6 Y-Y
Bred from ‘Englander’ × Kiera hybrid KB/M/1/98, this elegant cyclamineus hybrid is shorter at 15cm high than its mother, the perianth is more gently reflexed, and the corona longer and gradually expanded towards the flared mouth. As the bright yellow flowers expand, they rise above the erect leaves. At 60mm wide across the spread perianth, it is too large to show as a miniature.
