'Kronos' is very dark red with a slight overcast of blue, a heavy flower and quite big for a hybrid. As a matter of fact, the flower is double and so heavy it bends down slightly. But when the sun casts its rays on it it shines as if it is made out of glass. This flower makes a wonderful companion with some of the yellow hybrids as they contrast in color and form. It looks very masculine. The plant is named after Kronos, the Greek god of time. (Nassos Daphnis)
Kronos is one of the most spectacular Luta-hybrid. |
