HEY YOU • 2 Y-YYO • (Coombes) • NZ |
M |
 |
(Valley Glow x Goldfinger) I was once told to never use Goldfinger as a breeder, as it was too small. “Hey You” proves this theory wrong. On a good year, it will grow to 150 mm, and still retain reasonable form. The pale yellow petals form a neat double triangle and has a slight reflex.
Its 2/3 length flared cup is yellow through 1/2 of its length, moving to a orange red rim. Not a show flower, but a talking point in the garden, and is proving useful as a breeder.

HIGH HOPES • 11 W.W • (Coombes) • NZ |
E |
 |
(Pearl Drift x Sdlg) This flower is one of the first to appear in our patch in the spring. Its very white double triangle petals form a backdrop for its very ruffled centre, which has lemon, yellow and primrose tones, that fades out to white as the flower matures. Only a garden flower, but a nice splash of colour after a long cold winter.

Because they are so early, the foliage suffers from severe frosts, but the blooms are glorious. Lemon and Barley petals are light lemon in colour, with the cup being a bright green yellow.

(Blossom x Virma) This very full double, is one of our favourites. The outer petals are white, smooth and neatly layered. The inner petaloids are a light greenish colour at the base, moving through to a strong yellow. As with many bi-colours, the contrast between white and yellow is startling.

Very different.
