the future.

Tina
Whitaker - Introduced by Baldwin Pinney, Marehurst
(Kent) UK. C 1920s.
Named after the wife of Joseph (Pip) Whitaker, who
found it growing in the garden of their villa Malfitone in Palermo,
Sicily. It would seem to have been sent
to friends of the Whitakers in Kent, sometime around 1903, and was eventually
acquired by Mr Baldwin Pinney on his nursery at Marehurst, nr Tonbridge, Kent.
It was first exhibited at a meeting of the R.H.S. in 1922 and in the "Garden" March 15th 1922 issue the
following observation was made.
"This is a large flowered single variety
which has somewhat the appearance
of a poor viola. The long petals
are
thin and pointed and the colour is purplish".
Not a very flattering description of a truly lovely
violet. It is better described as having
immense flowers of a pure amethyst colour.
Very fragrant.
‘Tina Whitaker’ can make a very large, vigorous plant
with many crowns but it needs to be grown in a cold frame to achieve any sort
of success.
Titania -
Origins unknown.
Probably named in honour of 'Titania' the legendary
queen of the fairies.
Pale pink flowers that have a slight flush of darker
pink at the base and reverse of the petals. The blooms are carried on moderate
stems, which are not very strong, and there is a strong perfume.
