Ekstra:
This is a very complicated cross: (Z. 91 x Z. 94) x Rh. 'Whitney's Tigerlily'. Z. 91 is Rh. 'Goldkrone' x Rh. yakushimanum, Z. 94 is Rh. 'Cosmopolitan' x Rh. 'Scintillation'. Z. 94 had a lot of dots, and this cross has even much more dots, spread all over the lobes. And in this case on the double flowers!! This hybrid could become a bestseller, also because of the name of the Dutch princess, who is married with the Crown prince of the Netherlands, Willem Alexander. On the larger picture you can see the doubleness of the fine flowers. Very soft pink-white and darker red dots. The calyx petals are as big as the normal petals, sometimes even bigger. Very unusual. The trusses are not so big, and this is a good thing, because with rainy weather the trusses don't hang down!! Quite strong upright growing plant of 5 feet in 10 years. Flowering time is mid May. Coldhardy to at least -5F (-21 C)
