Not been able to take anything yet this year as it is so late my plants are only starting to bud, so this will have to do just to show willing.

Since color names are my weak spot (I only had an 8 box growing up), I asked my wife, the retired graphic designer to help. The answers were of no help - 341-355 degrees?: anywhere between red and magenta; and I didn't even get to purple yet. So, I looked to a botanical reference, knowing that Latin for pink is roseus. A plant with the binomial of roseus or roseiflorus should qualify!

Just my luck that currently flowering in the GH is the enigmatic Akersia roseiflorus. It's position has been problematic for years but the artile by Graham Charles in Bradleya 30 tells the most recent version, including that my peruvian collection is now reduced by one number.

So, though I will still call it Akersia, here is a very good match for GC1110.02 as shown on the cover of that publication.
