Pleione Melbury 'Christine Walker'
Rainer’s cross using the truly delightful but probably now extinct Littondale ‘Oxnop’ as a parent. This selection was named for the wife of John Walker, a superbly skilled Leigh (Lancs.) grower of Pleiones. The flowers are light rose-purple with darker pencil marks on the petals, the almost white lip has dark-red blotches with just a hint of yellow. Tall stems and early flowering!
