Description

Registered Cultivar: In 1983 Lorna imported seed from Belgium to grow orange Clivia for the wholesale nursery market. One seedling flowered peach and this was kept by her. Over the years it was reproduced by offsets. The plant is a fan shaped clump 40-50cm high. Leaf width is 5-6cm and they are 45-50cm long. The umbel of golden peack tulip shaped blooms is 20cm wide and 10-12cm high, held on a scape 45cm high. Each tepal has a pinky-peach blotch on it. There are 15 - 18 blooms per head on average. Pedicels are 3-4cm long. Flowers are 5cm long and 3 - 3.5cm dia at mouth. Flower colour is Swatch 7 - 66/67/68, the blotch colour is Swatch 4 - 38. The plant doesn't self but crosses with other donor pollen. In 2012 Lorna sold the bulk of her collection of this clone and plants have been distributed to Queensland but the bulk of the material went to the upper Blue Mountains of NSW. Lorna named the plant as she is a Grandma that found Gold.
