That's quite interesting...I like it.

I think I've seen this cross in flower in person just once. Looks like you have a very nice one. Do you know the origin of this plant? Original 1908 grex? or more recent re-make?

Rosettii BTW... one s, two i

Actually the RHS recorded it with two 's' though most people use a single one.

The plant probably dates back to 1932 at most.
I'm almost done gathering delenatii hybrids of that time. Next are insigne and maudiae then self and sibs!

great halo on the dorsal. Must have been all alba parentage.

Actually, if you look carefully, Rossetti and Rossettii are listed as 'this is a synonym', as on the page in your link. Rosettii is listed as 'this is not a synonym' - the original.

Quit a nice flag you got there. Well defind from white to green.

Nice to see, interesting how insigne has changed the lustre of the flower
