Not me said it - Clifford said so in his book.

Here is my listing:
Elizabeth Angus, salmon orange, large white eye, Zonal, single, normal
size, UK Anthony C Ayton 1955
So your guess was right.

I have only:
Barbara Hope, carmine pink, large white eye, Zonal, single, normal size,
UK Pearson and Sons 1889
Who are the others?

> Do you know where the Willingdon prefix comes from?
No - estimated guess - a nursery in the 50ties in UK that bred perhaps a
few CVS and also re-named existing old varieties when selling them.
My list of this "prefix":
Willingdon Beauty  = Barbara Hope
Willingdon Gem  = Nouvelle Aurore
Willingdon Pearl white, zonal, single, normal size

OK - for me too!
