Remarks : Boullemiers description reads : Single, tube and sepals flesh-pink, corolla orange-cerise, growth upright and bushy, Arabella Improved x James Lye. However, when introduced in 1880 the description (Lyes own advert) was Single, White, White, Magenta. It seems that what we grow today is not what was introduced but another (unknown) cultivar that has assumed its name
