The breeder succeeded in using pollen from C. ‘Ehmanni’ on other existing hybrids, to obtain many different foliage plants with large flowers. The leaves are a magnificent Musa form, the flowers just as large as those of C. ‘Ehmanni’; but they do not produce as many flowers as the Crozy Group.Thor Dalebø
