    Default Gur. bowringiana v. Casa Luna

    Never heard of this form of bow', small grower but robust. Had to resuscitate the plants I have of it, weren't good. Happy with it, been minus a bowringiana for many years.

    I have not done any research on this, but thr cv name is known to me, and you too I am sure, from C. ( or G) skinneri. Which makes Casa Luna sound like some collection name, used on 'all the good ones'. Strange, as I have that one, as a NFS 'seedling' - actually meristem of course, and had assumed that it was a white flower , luna = lunar....
    One guess too many by me.

    I have three or four bowringiana cvs, but mostly colour variants such as coerulea, but again only two have flowered so far.
