Optimara Virginia II

12 years ago

Optimara Virginia II (7358) 04/11/1990 (Holtkamp) Single bright pink two-tone frilled/darker eye. Medium green, heart-shaped, hairy, glossy, serrated. Standard

I received a few leftovers from an Optimara co-op. None were blooming at the time and the tags had been lost, so they could not be identified until they bloomed. Several photos of this one were submitted to Optimara and Frank Nentwig, the manager of variety development for Optimara Company, identified this as Optimara Virginia.
