This range has a delicacy that is in a league of its own. Petals are gently edged and veined with a contrasting colour with the backs of the flowers often darker. Up lifting the flowers is a joy, again each plant being so different to the next. Being pale they stand out on the winter days better than some of the dark colours. The colours and markings of seed may be variable.
