Rosemary Burnham

Found by gardener and painter Rosemary Burnham in an old garden at Burnaby, British Columbia in the 1960s, and named by Don Armstrong. A plant that eventually made the return crossing back from Canada to much acclaim when first re-exhibited in 1998 at the RHS show. A form of G. elwesii that is so covered in pale green lines on the outer segment that the effect is of a pale green wash. The inner segment is entirely dark green. Quite distinctive and evidently better in more shade. Mid season.
