(M) This exquisite cultivar is generally only available in New Zealand and from a few private collectors. It has large, full, gladiolus-like flowers in deep smoky pink with distinct, slightly ragged, lemon-yellow edges. There are yellow markings in the centre of the flower and on the back of the petals. The leaves are green. It is very distinct and highly desirable.
