    A first flowering for me ; I bought it just 12 months ago, not in flower. Has made a better bulb than previous ones. Superb depth of colour, not quite a perfect shape to my mind - not high enough for the width - but who cares with such a lovely colour. Medium size, just over 10cm natural spread.
    The cross is an old one ; McLellan 1971 - Rlc Goldfield x C.Anzac.

    That is a great colour! I see you ignore spell correct constantly trying to tell you to spell colour incorrectly as well

    We did invent the language on this side of the pond, and when Mr Webster was writing his dictionary and fixing American spelling, , our Sam Johnson was doing he same here. ( actually I don't know if they were contemporary )
    And - amazingly - there are English English versions of Spellchecker, as well as others....
    Hey folks, don't rush to lynch me, this is all a joke you know !

    I like the shape. I get tired of the "round" flowers. Of course, I know next to nothing about showing or judging or any of that other business. Color is certainly luscious!
