That sounds like the commonone grown here Nhu. It was these which my friends used to comment on the beautiful show they made, until after a couple of years I actually -looked- at them, and started to wonder if there were any other colours. And lost my heart..... I have crossed Z. primulina, no idea what with, and finished up with a white one which sets seed readily. As I suspect primulina is a cross of candida, could it have reverted back to candida? Certainly the flower looks like a candida. Z. flavissima is pretty tough here, I wonder what sort of temperatures they would take.
