Selected at Butterfield’s nursery, this cross features the extremely rare Himalayan Pln. coronaria as one of its parents and is probably the closest most people will ever get to growing that exceedingly rare species. It has turned out to be the dominant partner in this cross which has inherited the lovely pale lavender colour with the delicate veining and a lip fringed with an unusual shade of rust-red.
