Amazing co-incidence! This morning I was reading an advertisement from
Norgates nursery, about an hours drive from here. It's run by an old timer
who knows his plants, and doesn't give them names unless he's sure.
He is advertising 20 cv's including White Knight. Perhaps, since it's rare,
I should buy a rz? He describes it only as: tall, large, pure white, slight
ruffle. Can you give me a fuller description that this? I had never heard of
it before today.
