Mrs R.
Barton
- G. Zambra, Windward Violet
Farm, Dawlish (Devon) UK.
Grace Zambra named this cultivar after her cook, whom
it is said she poached from the local hospital, where Mrs Zambra spent a short
stay. During the course of her
hospitalisation, Mrs Zambra enquired as to who cooked the delicious food, and
was introduced to Mrs Barton. It is also
true, as some accounts would have it, that Mrs Barton was the wife of the
Zambra's foreman, having brought her husband and two sons to work at the
nursery.
The blooms are white marked with violet which appear
as the season advances, and are borne on long stems which are suitable for
cutting. Very free flowering, with a
good perfume. Sometimes wrongly given
the name 'Alassio'.
