E127 Sarc                   Elegance ‘Super’ x Sweetheart ‘Speckles’

Exact remake of the famous Kulnura Dragonfly.  Full-shaped, patterned flowers of the highest quality.  These are my favourite colour style.

E193 Sarc                   Kulnura Kaliedescope ‘BK’ x Amber ‘Gold’

Lovely peach yellow flowers from this cross.  There will also be a small percentage of pinks and possibly some reds, due to the nature of the Kaliedescope influence.
