Large, pure pink flowers. The name means 'Northern Lights'. We have received these details published by the Central Republic Botanic Garden in Kiev; the description of the flower is not the same as 'Severnoe Siianie' by Sharonova, although it lists the same parentage, and so we assume that the name was used by both breeders.
