Description

» English Description

Verschaffelt, 1849, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book X, pl.III: Obtained from seed in our establishment, this variety bloomed this year. The bloom is large, of the purest white we know, and is remarkable for the amplitude and deep emargination of its regularly imbricated and perfectly rounded petals. At the centre they become smaller and form a small umbilicate heart, lightly tinged with yellow. Originated in Belgium. Orthographic variants: ‘Speciosa Alba’, ‘Alba Speciosissima’.
