Binkie

Description

Binkie bears 100 mm flowers with light greenish-yellow perianth segments, darker at the apex and pale to white at the base, each marked by a prominent white mucro. The broadly ovate, blunt outer segments spread or reflex slightly and overlap, while the narrower inner segments spread with wavy margins. The short, loosely ribbed, funnel-shaped corona changes from yellowish white to white and has a brilliant greenish-yellow, crenate, shallowly six-lobed rim whose lobes often overlap. Its recorded history links Guy Wilson in Northern Ireland, who sent seed to W. Wolfhagen in Australia.
