For Validation-Torenia fournieri “Catalina Pink” from Dharamshala:: NS NOV 01<\/a> : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3).
\nThis beautiful flower was “presented” to me by one of my students during our recent tour to <\/span>Dharamshala-Kangra-McLeodganj (H.P.)…
\n<\/span>This was found as an escape near war memorial Dharamshala, I hope this is <\/span>Torenia fournieri<\/i> ‘Catalina Pink’… please validate\/correct..<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

yes wishbone flower… look closely a wishbone appears on the two petals… <\/span>further classification of cultivar …dont know… how to do using digital photos… where pink \/ red colors vary greatly to my eyes at least ..
\n<\/span>many pinks appear in the trade catalogs, names different in uk or australian or us nurseries…
\n<\/span>catalina pink name appears in american catalogs… even they look a little violetish to me, ie pink with some violet tinges … at least on blogger\/gardener agrees.
\n<\/span>so take your pick at to the cultivars name. SInce its a garden escape, and Dharamshala is full of americans it may well be catalina pink that someone brought in and planted<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thanks … for detailed views on this and confirmation too…<\/p>\n
