L'elegante - leaf


hybridiser: Cannell
this elegant one is a truly old kind, it's from sometime before 1868. under strenuous conditions the leaves will change the colour of their borders from cream to pinkish. so, if we like that, we will have to torture L'elegante... and we do... mo-ha-ha-ha :-¤
i've also seen it spelled L'elégant and (although i don't think that can be grammatically right) Le Elegante.

Pretty. Sad you have to mistreat the plant though. I always feel so mean when I have to limit feeding or watering to get plants like nasturtiums or mesembranthemum to flower ...

Jeg er en torturist! Min har også lekre rosa kanter.
