‘Christmas Glory’
1Y-Y
[Yellow Trumpet]
(W.J. Eldering & Son, pre-1927)
To be in flower for Yuletide, I suspect this slightly dwarfer and ever-so-slightly earlier flowering version of ‘Golden Spur’ would need to have been forced under glass. Although both flowers are of a similar mimosa-gold, ‘Christmas Glory’ is a more perky flower, the perianth segments more perpendicular to the trumpet, rather than flopping forward. The mouth of the trumpet is gashed more regularly and even more deeply into six well-defined lobes, which tend to recurve more strongly as the flower ages.
