‘ Spring Glory’
1W-Y
[Trumpet 1c]
(de Groot & Zonen, pre-1914)
A beezer of a flower, fully five inches (>13 cm) across, with a bold, rich aureolin trumpet flaring to a deeply-ruffled mouth, framed by broadly-ovate perianth segments. These open palest Dresden yellow, becoming milk-white, and remaining overlapping, as the sturdy trumpet deepens to buttercup-yellow. As the Bees’ catalogue of 1939 proclaims: “Well and truly named is this variety and generally accepted to be the best of the bicolour sorts … grand for garden display.”
