While this plant was entered as ‘unknown’ Ted checked his records and found it is the grandchild of four registered parents: Imi (1985) x Naniloa (1991) crossed to Kristen Ann (1973) x Nicole Camelot (1994). It was produced by Hawaiian growers for the cut flower market. The large, deeply colored flowers drew everyone’s attention.
