Dave,

Why would i laugh? I have no idea what this is for sure, although I had
been told both autumnalis and zambesaicus before (which is why I don't have
the ID for sure). I was actually fascinated by the earlier message about
all the named hybrids that you had on the list. Certainly nothing named
like that over here to my knowledge, at least I have never seen them
anyway. We do get a good selection in flower in nurseries each year now,
ranging from pure white through the pinky ones. Must admit that my pink
flowered purple-leaf is one of the better "coloured" flowers I have seen.
I am very pleased with it as it is a good flower colour, with the bonus of
the wonderfully dark leaves for ages before it actually flowers.

My white one could easily be 'White Dwarf'..... how would I go about
finding out for sure? Whatever it is it is a very good reliable flowerer
every year, and is a lovely clean pure white and good proportions of leaves
to flowers.

Thanks for the response.

Cheers.
